Temperature for aging mead

I started a traditional honey mead (3 gallons) about 1 month ago. It is happily fermenting at 62°F in a small refrigerator with an external thermostat.

Once I rack it to a second carboy (probably this weekend), I'll place it back in the fridge and let it clear. Can I age the second carboy at room temperature (about 75°F)?

When I bottle it in a few months, at what temperature should I let the bottles age? Should they continue at 62°F or can I age them at room temperature (about 75°F)?

I would like to free up my fridge to start another batch. Only one 3-gallon carboy will fit.
