While moving during the summer offers advantages, such as allowing you to move while your children are out of school, it also presents challenges, especially when moving to or from a city such as Tucson that can get quite hot.

1. Summer Moving Tips
The summer is far and away the most popular time to move, with about 90 percent of all moves
occurring between May 1st and Labor Day. While moving during the summer offers advantages, such
as allowing you to move while your children are out of school, it also presents challenges, especially
when moving to or from a city such as Tucson that can get quite hot. As a result, if you plan to move
in or around Tucson during the hottest part of the year, there are a few extra things you should
consider in order to maximize comfort and minimize stress.
Book Your Movers Early
Finding a mover during the summer can be extremely difficult, because the millions of people who
choose those months to move book them quickly. As a result, when you are looking for a Tucson
moving company, you need to plan ahead and book them at least six weeks in advance.
In addition, you can improve your chances of finding an available mover by moving in the middle of
the month and/or in the middle of the week. These times are much less popular than the weekends,
especially those weekends at the beginning and end of the month, when many people choose to
move because they have time off of work and can more easily start or end rental agreements.

2. Move During The Cool Parts Of The Day
Once you have your mover booked, you can turn your attention to beating the Tucson heat. The best
way to do so is to avoid the heat as much as possible by moving during the cool parts of the day,
preferably in the morning before the day has fully heated up.
Moving in the morning will require you to be fully packed and up early enough to greet the movers
and help direct the loading of the trucks. However, many moving companies in Tucson, AZ, will also
provide packing services so you do not have to do it all yourself, and the benefits of getting most of
the loading completed before the day is hot will outweigh most of the inconveniences of starting
early.
Find Sitters for Your Children and Pets
No matter where you move, finding childcare and pet sitters for your children and animals is an
important aspect of minimizing stress, not only for you but also for them. However, it is especially
important when you are moving in the heat.
For instance, animals cannot be left outside all day in the summer heat. Similarly, children will need a
cool place to spend the moving day where they will not interfere with the movers or suffer from the
heat. As a result, in addition to finding local moving companies in Tucson, you should find a local
sitter to take care of your children and pets away from your home until the move is complete.
Think About What Goes In The Truck
The summer heat can cause significant damage to certain items if they are left in the moving truck.
For instance, food items such as chocolate or household items such as candles may melt if exposed to
the heat. Other items, such as CDs and other technology can also be damaged if the heat gets too
high.

3. As a result, you should think through the items you are bringing with you and pack and move items
separately that could suffer from the heat, where you can keep them air conditioned and cool and get
them inside the house quickly. Your Tucson movers may also be able to provide you with movers tips
and suggestions regarding how to pack certain items to keep them safe from the heat.
Take Steps to Stay Cool
In addition to making sure your children, pets, and fragile items remain cool, you will need to take
steps to keep yourself cool and safe in the midst of the heat. For instance, you will need to make sure
you drink enough water to stay hydrated, even while busy with the last-minute details of the move. In
addition, you will need to wear light, long-sleeved clothing and take breaks from the heat when you
can.
Running the air conditioning at either end of the move may not be feasible on the day of the move,
because the moving process will keep the doors open all day. As a result, you will spend quite a bit of
money running the air conditioning and may end up with a warm house anyway. As a result, choosing
fans may be a better choice for the day of the move, although you will want to be sure that the air
conditioning at your new place is ready to go as soon as the movers leave in order to cool your place
down while you unpack.
Take Care of Your Movers
Finally, you will need to take care of your movers on moving day. Any of the local movers in Tucson
will be familiar with moving in the heat. However, this does not mean that they are immune to its
effects. You will make their jobs much easier if you provide them with plenty of water and a meal to
help them get through the hot day.
Moving in the summer in Tucson can be a challenge because of the heat. However, by taking a few
extra steps, you can minimize discomfort and create a summer moving experience that goes smoothly
and comfortably. Your Tucson movers may be able to offer you even more ideas for beating the heat
while moving successfully during the hottest part of the year.
