Which fuchsias are considered to be heat tolerant?

In general, the orange or red fuchsias are more heat tolerant than the white or blue ones. The following are some of the most popular heat tolerant fuchsias:

[For me and for Jim, our definition of heat-tolerant means: able to withstand repeated lengthy hot, sunny afternoons with scant or no shade in summer with temperatures into the upper 80s and occasionally into low 90s (Farenheit) in our back- and front-yards in Menlo Park, CA. We have direct experience with California, Golden Gate, Cardinal and Magellanica aurea -- and very good
results. In addition, in our neighborhood, there are many plants of Constance grown in fairly direct sun.

Kenneth's comments: The magellanicas are, apart from being winter/frost hardy (på svenska) also very heat tolerant, especially if planted in the border but also in pots.
Gartenmeister Bonstedt mentioned above belongs to a section of fuchsias called Triphylla Hybrids and they are all more heat tolerant than 'normal' fuchsias. Even in winter care (på svenska) higher temperatures are needed for the Triphyllas.
