What has happened to all the very knowledgeable Fuchsia growers who use to post here, they are sorely missed. I'll try to answer this for you with my somewhat limited knowledge. Most Fuchsias don't like hot climates, some that can tolerate higher temps are the tryphylla types (long tubes), as to the one you have keep it shaded and as cool as possible, misting might help, don't do this if the sun is shining on it the leaves will burn. I have found even up here you can easily cook the roots if kept too wet when the temp is high. The link below shows some of the Fuchsias that are somewhat heat tolerant. I'm no expert by any means but have been growing Fuchsia for over 30 years, you know the trial and error thing.
