Summers in Chicago are hot and humid and, even though we love our Windy City at any time of the year, we know how difficult it can be to relocate during summer days. Summer is an appropriate time to relocate for most people, but the season and the weather don’t come without their challenges. Whether you’re moving locally or relocating long-distance that day, it will probably be hot. So, how to prepare for moving in the summer? Here are crucial things to be mindful of on a summertime moving day.
Lots of Sweating
If you are relocating on 90+ degrees and walking around with labeled boxes in your hands on such a scorching day, you will definitely be sweating. When you are sweating and working hard, you are losing water so make sure you have lots of water on hand. Your pro movers will need to freshen up, too so don’t forget about them.
Higher Movers Fee
Summertime is the most common time of the year when people get a vacation. Even though it’s the hottest season quite literally, it is the most convenient for people to relocate. That’s why the relocation prices unmistakably go up every summer. But, that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to find an affordable deal. Some movers will always be more affordable than the others so fear not – if you start getting moving quotes and compare the pricing early, you will be able to find what suits you. So, go to work early.
Fully Booked Weekends
You may have seen this one coming, but yes, summer weekends are probably the most difficult time to book a team of movers. If you have to do so, make sure to search enough in advance. However, since the weekends are not only busy but the services can cost more, we advise you to pick another day of the week for the relocation.
Strong & Dangerous UV Rays
We love the summer sun, but its UV rays can be quite dangerous, especially when you are not aware of their impact on your skin while you are busy carrying stuff around. To avoid sunburn, make sure to wear your SPF and reapply it consistently. We wish you a successful relocation and a great summer.
