If you store your stuff in a closet/cupboard away from sunlight, the
temperature in the storage unit shouldn't reach that high.

Tea has been stored for years in Hong Kong where temperature reaches
the mid 30s in the summer with high humidity to boot. They age just
fine. You have to be careful though about mould, that's the only
concern. If your area's not too damp, then it's probably ok. Moisture
is a bigger enemy than heat (although you need moisture for the tea to
age).
