Are records harmed from no air conditioning?


I have a house with no air conditioning. The temps sometimes reach low 90's. Will my records be harmed by these temperatures? I am keeping them out of the sunlight. Is there a known temp that vinyl can handle without warping or damage? Is there a storage method that is advised for warmer climates w/o air conditioning? Or am I worrying about nothing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Depends on the humidity. 90 degrees should not harm the records as long as it is not humid. If you live in Florida--well it's much hotter there so I'm sure that's not the case, but 90 dgrees with high humidity could create 2 problems. One is warping, which can also be avoided by properly stacking your albums vertically, snug--but not tight. The other problem with exposure to humidity for a long time is that records can get moldy--something to avoid. Hope you live in a dry climate--in which case you are probably alright.
