in my room I use a dehumidifier but it raises the temperature by 1 or 2 degrees (32-34ÂșC), if I turn it off the temperature drops and the humidity rises to 60-70%

with dehumidifier the humidity goes to 55-58%

I think we've talked about this before. IMO, a degree or two doesn't really matter. No matter what, your temperatures are pretty hot. Same goes with humidity. Even with the humidifier, the humidity is higher than ideal for long term storage.

if I put the dehumidifier on longer the humidity may drop to 50% but the temperature will be between 34-35C

Do you have anywhere else you can store them like a relatives house or even a safety deposit box where the temperatures and humidity are lower?

the solution might be to loosen up behind the game console.
