If a capacitor is exposed to high humidity for a long period, this can cause discoloration of the terminals (i.e. oxidation) and lead to poor solderability. The average storage conditions at Würth Elektronik are temperature = 22.48 °C and humidity = 37.51%. The storage capability of the capacitor is defined by the socalled shelf life.

Excessive storage time or conditions may have adverse effects on capacitors. Capacitors should be stored at room temperature, low humidity and out of direct sunlight. Storage at elevated temperature and / or high relative humidity may have a negative influence on taping accuracy, solderability, leakage current and life expectancy.
relative humidity or high-temperature storage in dry conditions [7, 8]. As a result, characteristics of polymer capacitors degrade under combined stresses of temperature and humidity [4, 9]. Until recently, operating temperature of CPTCs was limited to 85 °C or 105 °C. However, in

Humidity is another consideration in controlling the environment of capacitor storage. You should take steps to keep capacitors relatively dry, with ideal humidity levels below 60%. This will reduce corrosion,
Capacitors can be evaluated using testing methods such as capacitance and Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) measurements. Deviations from specified values may signify degradation, prompting further analysis or replacement.

Store the capacitors in the following conditions: Room Temperature of +5℃ to +40℃ and a Relative Humidity of 20% to 70%." I'm wondering why there is such a huge discrepancy. Does this mean that if I needed to keep the capacitor in a 80℃ environment, I need to keep the capacitor powered at all times?
If the capacitor is stored in a humid environment, then it can absorb moisture, and that moisture will expand and pop during soldering. Also, the leads can oxidize (corrode), making the solder joint weak. The context from that datasheet (p. 12) tells the story: 1-1. Store the capacitors in the following conditions:
Most current capacitor technologies on the market, such as aluminium electrolytics or film capacitors, are limited to a maximum temperature range of 125oC - 150oC or even lower. To achieve higher temperature ratings, ceramics and tantalum capacitors are used. In downhole electronics, high temperature is usually classified as 150oC and above.
However, in the section "Storage and Operation condition", it states "The performance of chip monolithic ceramic capacitors may be affected by the storage conditions. Store the capacitors in the following conditions: Room Temperature of +5℃ to +40℃ and a Relative Humidity of 20% to 70%." I'm wondering why there is such a huge discrepancy.
Re: Humidity and capacitors. Humidity affects most capacitors to varying degrees. It has a very large effect on air dielectric capacitors. Tantalum caps are affected by humidity. Paper caps are particularly vulnerable. Most film caps are susceptible to differing degrees. Ceramics are pretty much unaffected although BMEs can suffer.
