Thinking in terms of regular steel outside boxes (or Al) the conductivity and specific heat of PVC is going to be somewhat different. However anything that survives your temps with almost 4" of rain a month has to have something going for it. That much rain is half a years worth here. ;-) current temp 77 with 36% humidity going to 88/21. Dewpoint 46.
