You've probably done this by now, but if not ...
Hammered-in clips are all very well when there's decent mortar to pin to, but if not I've used a dab of no-nails (or whatever it's called this week),
obviously a reasonable matching colour with the brickwork.
Just a dab every so often to keep the cable to the wall.

Get some decent Uni-Fix clips, much easier than the cheap rubbish available everywhere else! Harder, longer nails and they don't rot when used outside.

I use hot glue gun, quick and can be used along entire cable for secure fix.
I used hot-melt adhesive at my holiday home. It didn't last long in summer temperatures reaching 40°C in the shade!
You'd be surprised how warm a south-facing wall can become, even in the north of the UK.
Even low temp guns run at 120C , so 40C should have no effect unless it's from the pound shop.
My sandals fell apart while on holiday in the sun at 28°C "in the shade". The straps were held with hot-melt adhesive. It doesn't matter what the weather forecast says is the "temperature in the shade" - anything in direct sunlight gets hot hot hot!
