I am putting new hardwood flooring in my house. When I'm done there will probably be extra I'll want to store in the garage. I live in Phoenix where it hits 120 degrees every year. My garage is not air conditioned and is often 90-100 degrees during the summer. My concern is the heat will warp or damage the extra hardwood. Should I be concerned?

Hardwood flooring experts will likely opine based on manufacturer's requirements but,
I just happen to have some left-over (imported) hardwood that I have kept stored in less-than-ideal conditions...a shipping container...not ventilated. The average Summer around here is upper 90's and Winters can be below '0' for days/weeks. Just yesterday I had the container open to look for something and noticed how nice the left-overs were and how I wished I had more of it.
I would expect that various hardwood species will all react differently to low moisture content so a blanket statement is not prudent.

It will be fine. Moisture is a bigger issue. Keep it dry and you will be fine

I do hardwood for a living.
As long as it acclimates in the house before you use it, you should be fine

Stack it neatly and fully supported ideally with some other stuff on top evenly distributed
