Moving in Florida during the summer? You’re not alone — and you’re not wrong. June through August is one of the busiest moving seasons in the state. Families are relocating before the school year starts, college students are shifting housing, and out-of-state movers are heading south in droves. But between the heat, humidity, and peak demand, summer moves can get overwhelming fast.
Whether you’re moving across town or relocating to a new city, here’s how to make a summer move in Florida go as smoothly — and as sweat-free — as possible.
Why Summer Moves Are So Popular in Florida
- School schedules: Many families choose to move during summer break to avoid interrupting their children’s school year.
- Leases and real estate: Many rental agreements end mid-year, and summer is peak home-buying season.
- Work flexibility: Some people take vacation time to coordinate their move, making summer a practical choice.
But with all that activity comes one big drawback: competition. Movers get booked solid, prices can climb, and if you’re not prepared, you’re stuck scrambling.
How to Make a Summer Move in Florida Easier
1. Book Your Moving Company Early
This isn’t the time to wait until the last minute. Florida moving companies fill up quickly during summer — especially reputable ones. If you want a professional team like Miracle Movers FLA handling your relocation, book at least 4–6 weeks in advance.
2. Move in the Morning
By mid-afternoon, Florida’s heat index can feel brutal. Starting your move between 7:00 and 9:00 AM can make a big difference in safety and comfort — not just for you, but for the crew too.
3. Dress for the Heat
Skip jeans, heavy fabrics, and dark colors. Lightweight, breathable clothing and supportive shoes are a must. A hat and sunglasses don’t hurt either.
4. Stay Hydrated
Have plenty of water on hand for yourself and anyone helping with the move. Avoid energy drinks or caffeine-loaded sodas — they dehydrate you faster than you think.
5. Protect Heat-Sensitive Items
Florida summers can damage items like candles, electronics, vinyl records, plants, and anything perishable. Don’t pack these last — plan to transport them in a separate, air-conditioned vehicle if possible.
6. Mind the Rain
Afternoon thunderstorms are common in Florida. Have tarps or plastic wrap ready in case the skies open up mid-move. Miracle Movers FLA uses protective materials to keep your belongings safe, rain or shine.
7. Be Kind to Pets
Florida heat is hard on animals. Keep pets inside in the AC, and arrange for a sitter or safe, quiet room while the move is underway. Never leave them in a car.
