Moving Guide
Moving During Florida's Rainy Season
Florida's rainy season — typically June through September — brings afternoon thunderstorms and high humidity. Moving during this time is manageable with the right preparation. Here is how to protect your belongings and your schedule.
Protecting Your Belongings
- Use shrink wrap on upholstered furniture before it leaves the house
- Keep electronics in sealed plastic bins or bags
- Have towels and floor mats ready to keep walkways safe
- Load the most weather-sensitive items first
Scheduling Around Storms
Afternoon storms are common in Southwest Florida, so morning move times are often preferable. A flexible mover can adjust timing to work around weather and keep your belongings dry.
Humidity and Your New Home
High humidity can affect cardboard boxes and certain items. Allow boxes to acclimate and keep air conditioning running in your new home as you unpack.
