Summer is the most popular season to move. Unfortunately, it also contains notoriously hot months. Whether you’re looking to move within Hawaii or relocate from the mainland, the best way to keep your cool as temperatures and stress levels rise is to hire help moving. Wondering how to make the best of a hot moving day? M. Dyer and Sons of Pearl City offers three tips for beating the heat during a summer move.

3 Tricks for Staying Cool While Moving in the Summer

Start Early & Take Breaks

The best way to avoid heat exhaustion during a summer move is to set your moving time as early as possible. The earlier you and your team of professional movers get started, the less time you’ll spend loading and unloading during the midday hours when the temperature is at its hottest. Get started as early as possible, and set break times throughout the day. While they don’t need to be long, they must offer frequent opportunities to hydrate and recharge.

Hire Professionals

On a moderately warm day, moving can be daunting and overwhelming; on an exceptionally hot day, it can be impossible to handle on your own. Luckily, you can resolve this issue by hiring help moving. Professional movers will divide and delegate tasks, work efficiently, and get the job done in half the time. When you’re dealing with intense heat, spending the shortest amount of time packing and hauling is key.

Dress Properly & Stay Hydrated

When moving in the heat, plan appropriately. Choose outfits that are lightweight and light in color over dark-colored prints and heavy fabrics. Clothes should fit comfortably and allow for a full range of motion. Additionally, remember to drink as much water as you can throughout your moving day. Staying hydrated not only feels good, but it also prevents heat strokes. Take a water break every hour to ensure adequate hydration throughout the day.
