You'll find what should be nice clean shiney contacts in connectors all
turned green or grey and pitted. I've seen this happen even to gear
that's been in people's damp basements.
The Portland area has more of a problem with Humidity than extremes
of heat, especially outside of July-Sept. My equipment is stored in
the Garage, and I keep a dehumidifier running out there.
Honestly the garage is a far better storage location than the
"heated" storage units I had the collection in for many years.
