gee that is very hot for pond water! How are the goldfish behaving? Oxygen levels in the water will be dropping at that temperature and the metabolism of the gold fish would be in overdrive I would think. You must be also losing water from evaporation at that temp as well? If the fish are behaving normally then I guess they are coping ok? Watch their behaviour closely.

The New Guinea impatient plant in the foreground.... it usually melts/droops some in high heat and sun. Where are you in the world ?

Very pretty pond. Looks like the pond gets some shade and you have a nice amount of plant covering. Since warm water contains less oxygen, I would add an air stone. But as Ray said, watch the fish behavior to indicate any problems.

Aeration all day. If that doesn't cut it then consider adding an umbrella or hanging a large cloth from 3-4 poles above the pond, adding more shade to it. If that doesn't cut it then add a second small waterfall.
