The electronics themselves are rated up to 85 degrees C (185F). We’ve never had an issue with the boards at high temperatures, it’s just that the lipo battery packs don’t really like extreme temps (either hot or cold) because they don’t charge efficiently. Just doing a cursory check of random stations on Monitor My Watershed in warm climates, I see several stations where the temperature inside the logger box reaches 60C (140F) daily in the summer, so you shouldn’t have any trouble with yours, especially if you’re using a battery that can handle extreme temps, like an AGM. As for the code, it’s hard to say whether it’ll be difficult or not, based on your coding experience and how well the commands and timing are documented in the literature provided by the manufacturer.
