How to Move Efficiently in the Summer Months

Published: September 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 Houston Gulf Coast is here to share some effective tips for moving efficiently during the summer!

Move in the Morning

Sweating from the heat can be uncomfortable, and staying cool while on the move is critical. That’s why moving at a certain time of day is a good idea. The heat of summer afternoons makes for an unpleasant and dangerous moving experience. It’s best to move during the daytime when the weather is more conducive, and there is natural sunlight.

Wear Sunscreen

Even on a cooler summer morning, sun damage is still something to be aware of. Sunscreen should always be used during summer, no matter what time of day. The last thing you want is for your first night in your new home to be spent with a painful sunburn.

Stock Up on Cold Drinks

Make sure to have a lot of drinks available so you and your helpers can stay hydrated. Not only will this stop you from getting dehydrated, but it will also help everyone keep their cool. Drink lots of water and eat healthy food throughout the day to ease the physical stress that comes with moving.

Wear Comfortable Clothes

Avoid wearing items with a strong fragrance in the summer. Replace long-sleeved garments with more airy alternatives and pants for extra ventilation. During the summer, light and airy clothing are ideal. Staying cool is most important when it comes to clothing selections.
