The good book says below 0C to use 5W 30 oil.

This is of course is just a suggestion.

So basically Tony, is it healthy for the engine to constantly change oil grading during the year? I mean following weather temperature?

If the weather is variable between 0 and 35 degree during the year, shall we use one universal grade oil? or two grades at different stages?
