I generally leave my gear in the trunk of my car. This way it remains at ambient temperature and roughly the same humidity.

If you live in a humid environment, there can be an advantage to storing the camera in air conditioned space with lower humidity. This can help reduce the chance of corrosion, mold, fungus, etc.

The trick is to be careful to avoid condensation by not exposing a cold camera to warm, moist, air.

If you do store your camera in your car, you may want to check your insurance policy. Some specifically exclude theft from an unattended car.

I've been a photojournalist in Houston, Austin and San Antonio for over 35 years. The car trunk approach works well in our hot, humid environment. But for long term storage, I would recommend keeping gear inside with the A/C.
