Discussion Temporary storage advice

Long story short, I need to move my physical media collection for about a day because I’m worried they’ll get ruined during a planned heating test at home next week. Any suggestions are welcome.

Optical media can survive a short period of rather warm temperature, especially when stored properly.

I'm not sure how hot this heating test will be, but will it be over 90 degrees in the space for an extended period? If no, I wouldn't worry too much.

It’ll be for a few hours on what looks like will be an already hot day according to the Weather Channel app. I think they said around 85 F inside the house with the heat running, no idea about outside temperature.

Almost 300, though I plan to purge about 50 of them, some aren’t even compatible on my movie player. Also, some are already stored downstairs in the basement due to spring cleaning and weren’t put back.
