My 320 gb caviar blue(few years old) is averaging at about 41-42c,but it's hot as hell in my room like 30+ degrees celsius.In normal room temp my hard drive stays at 36-37c. Is 41c a reason to worry during this HOT summer?

I have never seen a hdd temp, however, my drive feels warm to the touch so must be warmer than 32 c. I would not worry in hot weather about 42 c. I WOULD worry about your not exactly hi end drives age. Your post should pick it up if it starts to fail and warn you, but in your boots I would buy another mid range drive for master and use the old one as a slave until problems are detected (this could be ages yet despite its age).

Yes your drive temp is operating at a safe temperature. Obviously it could only be running a couple degrees hotter due to your room being as " hot as hell". I would not worry to much about your HDD, however there are possible solutions such as a room fan pointing in the direction of the front intake fan(s) which could decrease the temp.
