I live in south part of Sweden where it is around 18-22 celcius, 64-72 fahrenheit. So it shouldn't be a issue with it being to cold.
Before replacing the pads you should hit them with some brake cleaner and re-grease the rear of the pads and shims.

While doing this, also check the thickness of the pads and if the rotor has any grooves or cracks.

I'm at 40k miles on stock rotors and pads and I brake pretty hard since I live in an area with pretty bad drivers.

I'm at roughly 70% brake pad material left but it's squeaking every so often, so I'm pretty sure it's the hardness of the pad (Semi-metallic?)
