Although my record collection is inside the house, I do have a lot of 78s out in my shop building, awaiting cleaning, culling, and filing.  The shop is insulated, so its interior temperature ranges from about 10 - 80 degrees F throughout the year.

Many of the 78s I've acquired have spent years if not many decades in barns and sheds, subject to dust, bugs, mice and temperatures ranging from -30 to 105 F.  Certainly those aren't ideal conditions, but I haven't seen records obviously damaged from the wide range of temperatures here in Wyoming.
