Warped records?

Hi! I wonder how big is the risk that vinyls get warped? Approximately how many degrees does vinyls resist before they get warped? I store my vinyls in a box in the end of my room, is there any risk that if the sun shines in my room and on my vinyls, that they get warped? My room gets very warm at morning/daytimes so I was just wondering..
How should the vinyls be placed in the box or does that matter? Like should the open side be pointing to the left or up?

Thanx for answers!

whatever you do, dont let them get direct sunlight.
I would suggest putting them in your closet, where its dark. If your room gets warm, it shouldnt be an issue ... usually a room will get about up to 80 degrees (at most).

I would feel shitty if that happened to me

Ok thanx guys! But does the sunlight make any harm to the 12" if they are in their original sleeves?
