Well the problem with climate, is itll eventually cause semiconductors to fail. Obviously epoxy absorbs moisture (it tries to escape if heated too fast, causes popcorning). And this will eventually make its way to the chip die, oxidizing/corroding it, killing it.

So its probably a good idea to bake the board for a little while every once in a great while, to keep moisture out of the board, and ICs.
