Condoms should be stored at room temperature, i.e. up to 25 degrees Celsius. Their durability is influenced by the change in temperature, but we are talking about drastic changes, i.e. very high or very low temperature or high humidity. 3 hours at a temperature of 27 degrees should not harm condoms - this is not a drastic deviation from the norm, so in my opinion, there is no need to throw away condoms - they are suitable for use. We store condoms in closed, company packaging. We unpack them and put them on immediately before use.

To @Gabriela:
Typically, condoms are recommended to be stored at room temperature, i.e. up to 25°C. 10 hours at 31°C probably did not harm the condoms, but if you want to be sure, I would recommend buying a new package.

And if about 10 hours, if they were in sampcjdoze and somewhere there was a temperature of 31 degrees, can cause that I will be thrown away. Were they in the original packaging and suitcase?

These types of temperature fluctuations do not affect the effectiveness of condoms.
There were literally two minutes in the field, just going from home to the car.
Can an hour-long trip in a car with air conditioning on about 20 affect condoms negatively? While in the field it was close to 0 degrees. Durex Extra Safe
