When you’re planning a move in Florida, timing is everything. Between hurricane season, heat waves, snowbird traffic, and holiday chaos, knowing when not to move can be just as important as picking a great moving company. Here’s your guide to the best—and worst—times to move in the Sunshine State.
🌤️ Best Times to Move in Florida
🕐 January – April: The Cool Season Advantage
- Mild temps and low humidity = comfortable move day
- Fewer storms and rain delays
- Movers tend to have better availability
🗓️ Mid-Week, Mid-Month Moves
- Mondays through Thursdays = less traffic and lower rates
- Avoid weekends and month-end rush when everyone’s trying to get in or out
🌀 Times to Avoid
☀️ Late Summer (July – September)
- High heat and humidity = exhausting moves and risk of heat illness
- Peak hurricane season can cause delays or cancellations
- Higher demand = higher prices
🎄 Holidays (Especially November – December)
- Movers may have limited crews
- Road congestion + holiday stress = a bad combo
- Storage units may be harder to come by during end-of-year clean-outs
🐦 Snowbird Season (February – April)
- Northern retirees flood in, and traffic spikes in coastal areas
- Rental availability tightens up in popular retirement destinations
📦 Pro Tip from Miracle Movers
If you have to move during a busy or hot season:
- Book your movers early—at least 4–6 weeks ahead
- Ask about early morning start times to beat the heat
- Hydrate and keep water/snacks handy for everyone involved
