Preparations containing hormones are sensitive to temperature changes. Manufacturers state that contraceptive pills should not be stored above 25-30°C (exact temperature thresholds vary depending on the type of pill).
Instructions on proper storage can be found in the leaflet of your contraceptive and here:
