  Most computers can tolerate an operating temperature up to about 108-110 F,
and a storage temperature (non-operating) even a bit higher.  90's shouldn't
be a problem, as such.
  Note that a 90-degree outside temperature may translate cooler or hotter
inside the storage building.  Still unlikely to be a problem, but heads up.

  As pointed out, humidity is likely to be a factor.  We wrap stuff going
into storage in plastic garbage bags to keep out dust; with a couple of
dessicant packets, that should also keep the humidity under control.
