I'd be more than willing to bet the vast majority of garages are closer to 50 degrees, rendering this article less than relevant given that the linear increase with temperature does not continue indefinitely due, in part, to a change in the oxide film. My garage is hot and dry 10 months out of the year, and I live a 5 minute bicycle ride from the pacific ocean. It's humid AND warm 10 months out of the year in southern california. Never had issues with corrosion. I went to university in the midwest. Cold and dry winters and some of the nastiest corrosion on vehicles i've seen.
It says 20 to 50F RISE in temperature. Meaning the vehicle has been outside in 20 degree weather then put in the 70 degree garage, you have a 50 degree rise in temp.
