I purchased five sets of wiper blades for my two cars (cheaper in quantity). I am wondering if I need to store them in my house in a temperature controlled environment or if they can be stored in the garage and or in the car exposed to hot summers and freezing winters. Is there any risk of them "breaking down" due to hot/cold cycles. Thank you.

If you store the blades in the house away from sunlight they will be fine. Here is a video of how the blades are replaced in case you need it:
