14.9 C. That is about 67 degrees F. a shade cool for my tastes. You should take your time when warming up your horn to avoid any cracks. The humidity levels are OK.
I prefer about 75 degrees F, 23.8 degrees C or so, rough math off of the top of my head, without looking it up.
50's to low 60's humidity is ideal, but very hard to obtain all of the time, if not impossible. I think it is impossible when the weather is cold out and the humidity is pretty much zero. You can use those Damp-its or make your own by taking those proscription bottles, drill some holes in them and add a sponge inside them, then wet them as needed, but still the clarinets still dry out a shade too much and the bell ring spins and the joint rings can come off. As far as I know there isn't anything on the market, such as a case which can control the humidity effectively.
Anything above 85 to 90 percent humidity might or will cause mold. This can surely effect your health.
So your humidity level is fine. Just a shade cool by just a few degrees.
