It is not the temperature that causes a mold risk. It is the relative humidity going too high. When we were snowbirds, I had a humidistat installed so when we left for the summer months, we turned the humidistat to the recommended setting (if I recall correctly, it was 60% relative humidity) and set the thermostat to a higher temperature. If the relative humidity got too high, the air-conditioning went on until the relative humidity got down below the set level. The only problem we had was that some of our vitamins (D3 and Fish Oil) ended up sticking together. Other than that, no issues and saved a lot of energy cost.
