Guinea pigs are NOT HARDY and require ideally an indoors home or an insulated shed well away from drafts, wind, rain and frost during winter. If you pnly have hutch, you will need adequate insulation and a sheltered position.
Guinea pigs are comfortable in the same temperature range as we humans, ideally between 15-25 C. Please make sure that your piggies are safe and snug and not stuck in a drafty thin pet shop hutch! Please also keep in mind that your guinea pigs still need more protection in any unheated rooms like utility rooms or garages (with no car inside).
