It reaches 32 degrees (C) in my flat in the summer.
Will this damage A) my computer and B) my external hard drive?

No there won't be any damage.. just see to it that your case has adequate cooling and that your processor or motherboard temperature doesn't exceed 60 deg C consistently ... anything between 35-50 deg C is just fine...
Most components can withstand upto 70 deg C .. but not for sustained duration ...

Depends on the internal heat of the computer not so much ambient temperature - if you can live with it most likely will your computer.
Make sure the fans on the computer are not blocked for air flow either in the back or with dust or cat or dog hair.
Have the interior of your computer cleaned out - sprayed with a compressor or vacuumed if it is dusty.
You usuallly cam turn on a control in the bios for it to shutdown if too hot.
It is more a question of allowing adequete ventilation for the computer than the ambient temperature.
It never hurts to add an extra case fan to the computer in the back - about $ 10.
Make sure you leave the hard drive free . Don't cover it with a book for example.

No, your computer won't be damaged. When the processor overheats, it will cause auto shutdown. Actually you could set temp alarms through softwares and you could set the temperature threshold for auto shutdown in BIOS. Some temp monitors display the reading on the lower right tray. Sample:

in case you toked out of your pc it replaced into assume to artwork with a fan, exterior drives are no longer designed for intense overall performance is purely for mobility, so which you had an exterior disk as decrease back up and to apply it for short volume of time( consistent with possibility some hours). What assume to happens in case you shutout your's pc fan ? warmth up so thats whats going on to you. some exterior drives contain a small fan to keep away from this style of circumstances. wish this assist you to.

no 32 is OK
your computer might start damage at 55 C
and the wet weather might damage the computer more than the hot

Probably not.
But it depends how good the ventilation in your case it... as it's hotter, cooling will be less efficient, so it will take less fluff in the fans before it overheats.

Assuming you have adequate cooling in the case, that's fine. That's how how the inside of my case is, on average.

a combination of proper ventilation, fans and heat sinks
