The oil filler cap/dipstick on my 400f has "Use 10w40 oil" cast into it. That's what the manuals say for UK climate as well.

Its only got to be 15c and above ambient temperature to be in range of using it in the Honda. It wouldn't be a problem at all. If summer use were the aim and then change it'll be fine.
