I'm planning on using a brute garbage pale for a temporary pond in Inland empire area it gets really hot out here tho 115 some days does this sound like a failure efore starting and when should I start it moving outside what's the good temperature range drops that can be ok for fish ? Planning on only using plants a filters only and that's about it building an automatic drain at the bottom for water changes but want some feedback on the ideas before I start it ?? Mainly using it to test how is the best way to do it?

I would keep them outside but try to provide over head shade and floating plants to keep water cooler. Guppies are fairly tough and should handle fine. The larger the better, a 100g Rubbermaid water trough will run quite a bit cooler than 45g in the heat of the day. IME
i kept mine outside in california but 50 degrees was the kill point, once temp was regularly getting to 48-50 at night they died. Plus the temperature variance of 80-50f is way too much. They are tough but not that tough, unless its a super insulated tote.
I would think 115 may be too much. I had goldfish outside in the shade in a 55. Once the outside temp hit 100 they started dying off.
