Default Storing audio CDs - max temperature?

Is it safe to store audio CDs in a loft which regularly hits 45C

These are standard mass produced ones, not home written in a
CD writer.

Its a while since I read up on this, but IIRC those sort of temps
drastically reduce the life of all CD types... IIRC.

Presumably there's some reason to keep them other than their data,
which is better stored on a HDD with backups.
