You might be able to raise the winter rating (5W) of the oil (to 10W, or 15W) since it is very hot there and startup temperatures shouldn't be a problem.
But I wouldn't change the summer rating (30) of the oil, since the operating temperature of the engine should be the same down there as most other places during the summer.
If the winters are cold down there, then you might want to change back in the fall.
FYI, here are some articles on oil:
