Default Question about Coax

I had some good quality RG-213/U lying on the ground for about 25 years.
It was moved and flexed quite often. Its loss measures about the same as
new coax. However, western Oregon has a very gentle climate compared to
most places. Your experience might be quite different if you live in
Phoenix or Minnesota, or areas with comparable climates elsewhere in the
world.

How many years can you expect good quality coax to last when it is out
in the sun and weather?
