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.


Do CDs in Australia or India or Death Valley have a shortened
lifespan?
I would say provided there is not drastic change in temp wou'll be OK.
I'm sure some of my CDs hit that sort of temp when they've been played
in a least one of my cd players and two laptops get them that hot.
