In many cases, native plants handle unusual temperature / moisture swings better than 'exotics'. After all, they evolved in local conditions. This is especially true for well established perennials. Annuals need sufficient moisture for their seeds to germinate and newly planted perennials do not have sufficiently deep roots to handle drought conditions.
Unfortunately as climate change progresses, even natives will have increased challenges. Note that turf grass (lawns) normally go dormant and turn brown in the hottest part of summer.
