heat wont do too much damage as long as the item is not on,, or its not so hot it's damaging the plastic case,, cold can damage it though,, if the item gets cold enough for the water in the air to condensate,, then the item may get damaged,,

Most probably Yes
All electronic circuits have operating specification for temperature and humidity.
