A summer move in Mountain House can bring bright skies—and intense heat. With temperatures often soaring past 90°F, even a short local move can become challenging if you’re not prepared. At All Star Movers & Storage, we understand how Central Valley weather affects every part of your relocation. That’s why our team has gathered expert advice to help you stay safe, cool, and efficient during a summer move.
Plan Around the Heat
The best way to beat the Mountain House heat is to plan your move strategically. Since mid-afternoon is often the hottest part of the day, aim to start early in the morning or later in the evening.
Smart scheduling tips:
Book your movers early: Morning appointments help you avoid high temperatures and traffic.
Check the forecast: Watch for heat advisories and adjust your timing if necessary.
Keep air conditioning on: If possible, leave the AC running at both locations while movers work.
Allow breaks: Make sure everyone—including movers and family—gets time to rest and cool off.
At All Star Movers & Storage, our crews are trained to move quickly and safely, even in high temperatures, so your belongings and your team stay protected.
Stay Hydrated and Energized
In hot weather, hydration isn’t optional—it’s essential. Dehydration can sneak up fast during heavy lifting or packing, especially under the California sun.
Hydration and energy tips:
Keep water bottles and electrolyte drinks nearby.
Eat light, high-energy snacks such as fruit, nuts, or granola bars.
Avoid sugary or caffeinated drinks that cause dehydration.
Take short breaks in shaded areas every hour.
If you’re managing a family move, make hydration part of the plan for everyone, including kids and pets.
Protect Heat-Sensitive Items
The summer heat can damage certain belongings if they’re not packed correctly. Electronics, candles, cosmetics, and artwork are especially vulnerable to high temperatures.
Here’s how to safeguard your belongings:
Use climate-controlled trucks or storage for delicate items.
Keep electronics like TVs, computers, and gaming consoles in air-conditioned spaces until the last minute.
Avoid storing fragile or heat-sensitive goods in cars or garages for long periods.
Label boxes “heat-sensitive” so movers know to handle them carefully.
Our moving team takes special precautions to protect your valuables, ensuring everything arrives safely and in perfect condition.
Dress for Comfort and Safety
What you wear on moving day can affect your comfort and performance. Lightweight, breathable clothing helps you stay cool while moving in and out of hot spaces.
Clothing and safety tips:
Choose light-colored, moisture-wicking fabrics.
Wear closed-toe shoes with good traction for safety.
Apply sunscreen before heading outside.
Keep an extra shirt or towel handy for sweat or spills.
A few simple adjustments can make a big difference when you’re loading boxes in 90-degree weather.
