Yeah, but only if the temperature stays REALLY warm all day and all night.
Garages get hot because the sun beats down on them during the daytime. If the temperature cools down at night at all, the inside of the coolers doesn't get very warm.
My part of Montana isn't the coolest in summer, but nights still cool down to around 70 at most during July and August. I've tested my coolers with a thermometer placed inside, and the temperature never rises much above 70 even during the hottest days. Of course, I have the coolers on the floor and in the shade, not in front of a window where the sun will hit 'em.

I've got my shop in an insulated metal building. The (unheated) building mitigates temperature extremes enough that a couple of nights of -11 degree temps wouldn't freeze water inside.

Yep, my refrigerators are magnetic latches. Usually local Fire codes limit the amount of powder you can keep on hand The last time I checked it was about 50lbs. Safe or not, if it is above the code limit and you have a fire, you could be in for some serious negotiations with your insurance company.
I"m code enforcement in town. I"m GLAD I don't have codes or enforcement where we live. We stick our noses way to much in other folks business IMHO.

Cold doesn't hurt powder at all. Heat does.
Temperature SWINGS are not an issue for degradation? Say, -10 to +80 over a year?

Locally a recommendation not a code.I'll take my chances with my ability to do the right thing in terms of storing my powder.
