Summer is prime moving season — but it’s also the hottest time of year. If you’re planning a move during the summer months, it’s important to be prepared for the challenges that come with the heat. At Millennium Moving & Storage, we’ve helped countless families and businesses handle summer moving with ease. Here are our top tips for staying cool, safe, and stress-free when you move during hot weather.

Why So Many People Move in the Summer

The summer months — from May through August — are the busiest time for moving companies. Kids are out of school, the weather is (usually) dry, and many people take time off to handle their move. But with that convenience comes higher temperatures and the need to plan ahead.

Top Tips for Moving in Hot Weather

1. Schedule Your Move Early in the Day

Temperatures tend to peak in the late afternoon. Booking your move early in the morning helps you beat the worst of the heat. At Millennium Moving & Storage, we recommend an early start — and our crews are ready to roll first thing in the morning to help you stay cool.

2. Stay Hydrated

Moving is hard work — especially when it’s hot! Be sure to keep plenty of water and electrolyte drinks on hand for both yourself and your moving team. Dehydration can creep up fast during summer moving, so regular hydration breaks are a must.

3. Dress for the Weather

Choose light, breathable fabrics and wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. For safety, closed-toe shoes with good traction are essential — sandals are a no-go when lifting and carrying heavy items.

4. Protect Sensitive Items

Hot weather moving requires extra care with electronics, candles, and items that can warp or melt. Pack these last, keep them out of direct sunlight, and transport them in climate-controlled vehicles when possible.

5. Prepare Your New Home

Before moving day, make sure the air conditioning at your new home is working. Arriving to a cool, comfortable space makes unloading and unpacking much easier.

6. Work with Professional Movers

A professional team like Millennium Moving & Storage is trained to work efficiently — even during hot weather. We know how to load trucks quickly, protect your belongings from heat, and keep things running smoothly even on the warmest days.
