Default Installing T-belt in 50 degree weather?

I'm wanting to install a t belt and warmest day in the forecast is calling for mid 50s. Obviously certain items loose pliability in cooler temps. Is there any chance of this affecting getting the belt tension set correctly or should it not be a problem? I know I've changed fuel filters when it was cold and the fuel line was as stiff as a board. Granted it was much below 50, but I thought I would ask anyhow. Go ahead with the install or wait for a warmer day?

Thanks

I did my timing belt on my 95 accord around x-mas when the temps were likely around freezing and didn't have any problems (other than being cold in the garage). I don't think warmer weather would have changed the outcome.

I also would not worry about it, I have done some in the cold and not had any issues.
