The whole idea of not playing a wooden clarinet outdoors in nice weather is rather silly. They will not suffer, unless you are out in winter or if it is raining, or something equally bad. Never march with one!
Make sure the instrument is adequately broken in, of course.
My guess is that the Tosca just happened to be outdoors when it cracked, rather than being outside caused the cracking. I have played with wooden horns outdoors since the mid-1970s and have never had a problem. If it drops below about 70 degrees Fahrenheit, I would simply use a plactic or hard rubber horn, instead.
