I would guess that use in the tropics would require a different type of
generator -- maybe one that is water cooled? Actually, I would tend to
doubt if most air-cooled generators are even suitable for use in places
like Las Vegas or Arizona for instance in the summer.

That might be OK in the cooler parts of the world, but a bit dodgy perhaps in the

air conditioning

rate their generators for operation at an ambient temperature up to
100F. That would mean you would have to heat your garage, for example,
up to 100F and then put the generator in the enclosure inside the
garage to run the heat tests.
