When I was in Central America, most of the time the temperature was well
into the 30s (90s if you like funny German units:)), and mid 20s at
night. Extremely humid as well. I had no means of keeping film cool,
and in buses it was really roasting, but this didn't cause any
problems. Colours and grain same as usual - the film was almost
entirely Sensia II 100. (regarding Dave Dougherty's unfortunate
problems, perhaps heat affects fast films more than slow ones?). Here's
a fairly gratuitous link to a photo which shows colours and not grain:

Another film thing that people worry about - I've never worried about my
film being x-rayed. Even with 1600 film nothing's ever gone wrong with
it, on trips to Africa, Central America and Australia. Another
gratuitous link to a photo which survived on 1600 film:
