AI saids Vinyls needs to be stored 90 degrees. I had mine at about 70 degrees. Thoughts?

I own about 20 vinyls (some rare DJ mixes or 12 inch mixes). Most of them came from the 90s. I keep my house in about the degree range of 77-80 (I am the type to get cold easy). I kept my vinyls in a milk crate. Most them were stored at angle about 70 degrees. AI saids this is very bad and they could have some warping. Any thoughts, please?

I think the 90 degree rule for vinyls only applies to undergarments.

Records are fine at normal room termeratures.

Vinyl I collected in the '60's and 70's is in great condition... I am sure it has been subjected to extended variation of temperatures well over 30 degrees. They are pretty robust as long as stored upright.

slow day I guess

the room temperature and the angle at which the album is tilted has to be in sync.

A more than 5 degree variation will twist the albums into little twigs within hours.

(countries using Celsius are way more forgiving, obviously)
