The thing you need to avoid is temperature fluctuations, that's what kills Winchester drives. You want a rock steady tempt, whether it is 60 or 95. And you need a good humidity to keep water from forming, and to avoid static build up. Beyond that, all you care is that it is stable.
Equipment prefers cooler, but only slightly. Cooling is expensive and the cost to cool is normally greater than the value it provides below around 90 degrees.
Yeah. We keep this room ~75.... our "oh crap!" alarms are at 85, and our "crap just hit the fan" alarm is 95, lol.

-.- no seriously is it 5 yet.
Ha. I feel your pain. Nothing like coming to work and finding your Server room running at 88 degrees and temperature alarms being emailed out to you ever 5 minutes. (It's normally closer to 75 degrees).
At least 88 is well within server parameters.
The room was 88 degrees. The servers were throwing temperature warnings at us. They didn't quite make it to the panic level, but it was right close. Stuff here starts shutting down when the room gets to 95.
Wow, sounds like bad airflow or something. IBM and Intel run datacenters intentionally at 95 ambient and found it to be the healthiest place to do it. In our NYC datacenters, we hit 165 before things started shutting down.

Lots of rain again. It's a few weeks of continuous rain here.

Been there with the temperature issues. Got lucky the first time happened to be there when our smaller office with just a few servers had an AC failure. Once we moved to our new building a few years back I purchased an environmental monitor prob with a hosting option so I can get emails and text messages (regardless of the state of our email system) and let's just say the first few months in our building back in 2015 (When we were the very first tenants), and on and off since then those alerts came in VERY handy.

Definitely bad air flow. The room was not built with being a server room in mind.

That's the killer. Even a room at 60 can burn out a server with bad enough air flow.

It's not THAT bad, lol.

The problem isn't the temperature. Servers will run great for a decade at 100 F.
The issue is stability in temperature. If it's 100 F 24/7/365, great. If the temperature is changing all the time, that's where it's bad.

Yeah. There's a lot to be said for consistency.

I really like that show. I was in the orchestra for that long ago. Great music.
