Moving in Florida during the fall comes with unique challenges. While the rest of the country may be bundling up, Florida’s fall weather still brings plenty of heat, humidity, and sudden showers. Packing smart can make the difference between a smooth relocation and a stressful one. Here are tips from the Miracle Movers FLA team to help you prepare.
1. Pack for Two Seasons at Once
Florida’s fall weather can swing from hot afternoons in the upper 80s to cool evenings in the 60s. Keep lightweight clothing at the top of your boxes but set aside a few layers like sweaters or light jackets so you are not caught off guard.
2. Protect Against Humidity
Moisture can ruin clothes, books, and electronics during a move. Use plastic bins with tight lids for items that are sensitive to dampness. Add silica gel packs or moisture absorbers to boxes that contain clothing, papers, or linens.
3. Keep Rain Supplies Handy
Fall showers are common in Florida. Make sure your essentials box includes:
- Plastic tarps or garbage bags for quick cover
- Umbrellas and ponchos
- Towels for wiping off wet boxes
4. Label Seasonal Boxes Clearly
Do not just write “clothes” on a box. Instead, label boxes as “Fall clothing,” “Summer gear,” or “Winter layers.” This makes unpacking smoother and ensures you can find what you need right away.
5. Protect Electronics and Appliances
Electronics are especially vulnerable to Florida humidity. Wrap them in anti-static covers or bubble wrap, then pack them in climate-resistant containers. If possible, transport smaller devices in your own car.
6. Work With Movers Who Understand Florida’s Climate
Packing is not one-size-fits-all. Miracle Movers FLA has years of experience helping families pack and move in Florida’s unpredictable weather. We know the right materials and methods to keep your belongings safe, no matter what the season brings.
