How to Move Efficiently in the Summer Months

Published: August 01, 2022

Summer has come, and if you’re considering moving during the hot months, there are a few things to consider. UNITS Moving and Storage of Northern NJ is here to share some effective tips for moving efficiently during the summer!

Move in the Morning

The heat can be overwhelming in the summer and keeping cool while moving is critical. That’s why moving at a specific time of day is a good idea. Summer afternoons are simply too hot for a pleasant and safe moving experience.

Moving at any time of year at night is not a great idea. It’s ideal to go before seven or after eleven in the morning, when the weather is at its most pleasant and the sun is still shining.

Wear Sunscreen

Sun damage is still a concern even if the weather cools during the early morning hours. On a hot summer day, sunscreen should be used whether you move early or later in the afternoon. You don’t want to endure your first night in your new house with sunburn.

Stock Up on Cold Drinks

Have a large supply of cold beverages to keep you and your moving crew cool and comfy. Drinks not only aid in preventing dehydration but can also help you stay cool. Everyone must drink enough water and eat nutritious food to assist with the physical strain of a big move.

Wear Comfortable Clothes

In the summer, you should avoid wearing anything with a strong smell. For greater ventilation, replace long-sleeved clothing with lighter, more airy items, and pants should be avoided. Lightweight and airy attire is ideal for you during the summer. When it comes to garment choices, staying cool is most crucial.
