Your climate is very conductive to running whatever the manufacturer recommends for his engines viscosity wise.

My brother in law mentioned some time ago that oil pumps are now all aluminium. So he feels heavier than recommended viscosities should not be used with them.

Although I have not worked on really modern engines. If it is true it may be worth keeping it in mind.
