Moving keets during a heatwave

Hello all! This is my first time with keets and have a question about potential temperature shock.

My keets are about ready to leave the brooder but we are currently in a heat wave, hovering around 100 for the next week or so. They are currently in my basement while I get their coop ready and it’s been a steady 72 outside of the brooder plates.

If I move them out to coop during this time is the temperature swing too much? They haven’t acclimated to it so I don’t want them to have shock or worse. I do know they are naturally more heat tolerant than chickens, but when it’s sudden could it cause issues?

TIA!
