Salt corrosion is largely an aqueous phenomenon. It's plenty hot and
salty in the deserts of the southwest US, but that is exactly where
the airline industry wisely parks its mothballed aircraft, to minimize
corrosion. Because it is warm and DRY.

Which reactions? Some are, some aren't.

How much higher or lower in temp? One percent warmer in an unheated
garage? You think that matters?

Aqueous kinetics have more to do with corrosion rates than temperature, and
the differential exposure is overwhelming.
