Thanks Dice. I guess that perhaps better than a certain variety that might do well in the heat, it would be better to choose one that doesn't get very big. Based on the description, it seems that HuskY Cherry Red might be a good idea. it's pretty dwarf and fruits all season long. I could check local varieties as well, but like I said, I've seen fields of tomatoes growing fine in the dry summer heat, with lost of fruit. I think the issues are more about growing in containers, where keeping them watered is a problem, and the terrace is ovbiously hotter than the ground. With all the advice I've gotten, I think I'll be ready to try this year, even with the kinds I already have.
