Let’s face it—moving in Florida during the summer can feel like lifting boxes in a sauna. Between the humidity, soaring temperatures, and unpredictable thunderstorms, summer moves in the Sunshine State come with unique challenges.
At Florida Moving Pros, we’ve helped countless families beat the heat and move smart. Here’s how you can make your summer move smoother, safer, and (believe it or not) cooler.
🔥 Stay Safe in the Heat
✅ Start Early in the Day: The earlier you begin, the cooler the temps. Aim to get the heavy lifting done before noon when the sun is at its strongest.
✅ Hydrate Constantly: Water isn't optional—it's essential. Make sure everyone involved has access to cold water and sports drinks to stay hydrated and avoid heat exhaustion.
✅ Dress for the Weather: Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing, a hat, and breathable fabrics. Avoid dark colors that absorb heat.
📦 Protect Your Belongings from the Heat
✅ Avoid Meltdowns (Literally): Don't pack candles, electronics, or heat-sensitive items in the moving truck for long periods. If possible, transport them in your air-conditioned car.
✅ Wrap Items to Reduce Moisture: Humidity can do damage too. Use plastic bins and moisture-absorbing packs for sensitive items like books, photos, or linens.
✅ Label with Care: Mark your boxes clearly, especially items like medications, electronics, and pet supplies, so you can unpack them quickly and avoid unnecessary heat exposure.
⛈️ Prepare for the Unpredictable
✅ Watch the Weather: Florida weather is known for quick pop-up thunderstorms. Be flexible and have tarps, towels, or moving blankets on hand just in case.
✅ Use a Reliable Team: Working with experienced movers—like Florida Moving Pros—means you’ll have people who know how to hustle between weather windows and keep your items safe, dry, and on schedule.
