Default Temps., high and low, for storing machines?

This has probably been discussed before but I am wondering about temperatures, high and low, in which machines are stored. Is there a sort of upper/lower limit in which a mechanical machine should not go over/under? I was thinking high heats might be worse than low colds but I may be wrong? Surely moisture of any kind is an absolute negative for storage. I know that some of you have found machines in all kinds of places and some of you cannot even get all the machines you own into your climate controlled houses so wondered what you do about that? Do you cover them with quilts or similar coverings or just hope for the best as they sit in a cold/hot garage or outbuilding?

And on a secondary road from that thought, how about computerized machine storage temps. Are there minimum/maximum temps for those too? Would any of you vintage machine people have an idea about that? I think the cold weather here in the east has me wondering what I should set my heating/cooling unit on in my outbuilding studio.

Thanks for any input you can offer.
