You are new here. You need to read the Ammo Oracle. It has a whole section on ammunition storage.

Thank you.
What I learned. 1. Heat, water and chemicals are bad. 2. Properly stored, ammo can last decades. 3. Ammo cans w/ silica is recommended for long-term storage. |

OK, I have more questions. Forgive me if these have been asked, but I searched "storage" for the last 30 days and didn't get what I was looking for.
1. What is too hot? Is 100 degrees in a Texas garage too much? 2. Is the typical humidity in a house OK? I keep it pretty dry. Moreover, how long can that box of ammo at the top of the closet be relied upon? Thank you in advance |

IMHO...
#1 No #2 You'll be a dead old man and the ammo will still go bang. |

Thank you. That simplifies matters. Any counter opinions?

Don't keep it all in one place. Break it up into smaller lots and vaccuum pack them. Keep some in a couple of places in your house. Some in your vehicle(s), some in an undisclosed location.
Remember the old(and true) saying "a rat with one hole is a soon caught rat." |
