Playing at different temperature might effect it big time. But it is wide to keep it at a decent temp. you're gear is ok. I have had all sorts of guitar players bitch at me about shit and i want to slap them. First educate yourself in electronics. But your stuff is ok...

It's time for the teenager to rip into you again.
A tube amp and a solid state amp will have the same problems with moisture and temperature differences. Additionally, if the tubes are heated and cooled rapidly, the glass might crack, allowing air inside the tube, which will cause it to fail.
That said, unless you're going from extreme heat to extreme cold very quickly, the amp will almost certainly be fine, regardless of it being tube or solid state.
