About 4.5 years ago, I moved to the Valley of the Sun (Phoenix area) from Colorado. Before moving, I posted a question about storing powder in 100 degree plus temperatures. I cannot find my post to read replies.
What I didn't know before moving is that not only are the summer temperatures brutal, at times, (last summer, we had 145 non-consecutive days of 100 degree plus temps) but there is a monsoon season where the humidity is higher than one would expect for the Sonoran desert.
A friend has suggested a test I do to see if humidity affects powder starting now and running through the end of the monsoon season, September 30-ish. I have been storing my powder, but not primers, inside my house.
But back to my original question. Does anyone store powder in high temperatures? Powder manufacturers recommend storing in a cool dry place but they don't specify what cool is.
