Re: Sudden weather transition

Other than the advice to have a range of strengths (not a large range, just enough difference to account for changing needs), I don't think you should obsess too much over climatic differences. If you're expecting to be playing at a significantly higher altitude that you're used to, bring along a box of reeds a half strength softer. Unless you're auditioning outdoors or you're leaving your instrument in extreme hot or cold conditions (as you've already been warned not to do), the indoor temps and humidity levels shouldn't be a problem. Just protect the instrument itself from rapid or wide temperature swings.
