I spent several weeks in Bombay/Mumbai in 1993-4 and in 2007-08. Its proximity to the sea regulates the temperature to a fairly narrow range but the humidity makes it uncomfortable for those who are not used to it. And the salty air will contribute significantly to its corrosive nature.My Zotac 1050 died after 5.5 years. ( It worked for few hours after heating in microwave)
Cant blame zotac though, we have very high humidity in Mumbai and back then i never cleaned dust. Lots of oxidation damage on that board.
I doubt it. It doesn't mean that everything will die in 5.5 years but there's a good chance that the high humidity and salt will eventually damage any product if they are not properly looked after.

yeah, i am about 6km away from coastline so salt in air is likely not a factor. High humidity is, esp in monsoon, but now i am managing that better.
We do have temps in a narrow band most of the time, did not know it was due to sea.

So far, the Asus Dual 6600XT has worked well and not given me any problems. The cooling system is exceptionally effective; even in the hottest city, the temperature remains below 60°C.

Water has a high thermal capacity. It absorbs a lot of heat during the day, especially in summer. It releases that trapped heat at night and in the cold season. Air absorbs very little heat directly from the sun's rays. It is cooled by evaporation from the surface of the sea in summer. In winter, there's less evaporation, so less cooling. The warmth released by the sea is carried inland by air currents.
This is why Delhi has such extreme temperatures - freezing in winter and scorching in summer. Going out when the temp is in the high forties is no joke. The dryness of the air helps a little bit. I always drink a lot of fresh fruit juice there.
I live in a place where the temperature stays between 13 and 30ºC most of the time, although these are not the extreme limits. I've personally measured outside temps below 10ºC at 3-4 AM in January and 35º on summer afternoons, but these are only for a few days each year.
