I saw the opposite - I work in renewable energy and went to a wind farm
in Texas to do a VM upgrade. The server room was outside the office
space and was 35 degrees inside. The metal tables were so cold you
couldn't lean against them when typing. I asked if we could turn up the
heat while we were working in there and they pointed to the louvered
vent letting outside air (which was also 35 degrees) into the shed!

I was surprised the humidity wouldn't have been a problem.
