I usually prime just before loading, but it probably doesn't matter.
If I primed earlier the cases would go in the cupboard next to where the packets of primers are, so similar conditions, though I do keep my primers in an insulated chilly bag.
I had some rounds I loaded back in the mid to late 90's that I pulled and emptied a year or two ago. I fired off 50 of the primed cases last week - no misfires or hangfires, so I consider that a pretty good test.
