Will long-term storage of 2.5" HDD at 34-36C and 58-68% humidity cause demagnetization of the platters?

It shouldn't. Any external magnetism is blocked by the metal case/coverings of an HDD. HDDs do have magnets inside them for smoothing/buffering the movement of the arms holding the read/write heads. The silver curved parts in lower left corner are the magnets.
