Almost all of my Lego from my childhood was stored in an attic for 10 years in
Northern Virginia, which can get pretty hot in the summer. The attic had a fan,
but if you went searching for something up there in July, you found it FAST, or
you came down for a break to keep from sweating to death.
It all survived fine.
