Meine Frage: Können solche Temperaturen eigentlich den Platten schaden? Sie sind allerdings nicht dem direkten Sonnenlicht ausgesetzt (da oben ist es stockdunkel), sondern halt "nur" der Wärme.

For long life and playability, proper storage of your recordings is paramount. Some of the factors to consider for the proper storage of discs are temperature and humidity, dirt and dust, improper stacking, excessive pressure and weight, and mechanical or chemical damage.

With respect to the enviroment, though not always practical, a constant temperature of 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit or 21 degrees Celsius should be maintained. Plus a relative humidity of 45-50% is highly recommended. Avoid rapid changes in temperature and humidity, it could have a adverse effect on the life expectancy of your recordings.
Special attention should be placed on sunlight and on sources of heat such as heaters, vents, and artifical lighting. Also beware of high humidity and water. This will cause mould to grow on the album jackets, and within the inner sleeves causing unrepairable damage.

Avoid dusty enviroments. Whenever possible, enclose your recordings in a relatively airtight container such as a cabinet with doors, or sealable boxes. Don't be afraid to lightly vacuum the area surrounding your records.
Replace dirty and mouldy record jackets and inner sleeves to avoid further damage to the discs. Do not store, in or around smokey or cooking areas. Smoke and cooking greases easily adhere to records and their jackets.
NEVER...NEVER...NEVER... store recordings on their sides or flat! Always maintain records in an absolutely vertical position.
Remove the original manufacturers wrapping from records. These wraps will shrink over time, eventually warping the jacket and it's contents. Replace this "shrink wrap" with high density polyethylene, or "acid free" sleeves. Additionally, you should also replace regular paper or "acid bearing" inner sleeves, with Mylar or Polyethylene sleeves. Also available are rice paper inner sleeves from Japan, though these type of sleeves are a little expensive. Regular paper inner sleeves will scratch the surface of your recordings with every pass. And, certain plastic lined sleeves will create a chemical reaction with the record, while in storage (see record accessories).

As with most objects, time will eventually take it's toll. But if you follow a few of these simple steps, you will no doubt extend the life of your recordings.

Aber vielleicht sollte ich für die nächsten Jahre mal einen anderen Standort für die guten Stücke ins Auge fassen...
