Plan your move for the coolest part of the day.
Try to schedule your activity for the early morning or late afternoon, when temperatures are generally more relaxed. Avoid moving during the hottest part of the day, typically between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m.
- Stay hydrated
Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Keep a cooler filled with water bottles and sports drinks handy, and take frequent breaks to rest and rehydrate.
- Dress for the heat
Wear lightweight, breathable clothing that will help keep you cool during the move. Opt for light-coloured clothing, which reflects sunlight and helps keep you cooler than dark colours.
- Use fans and air conditioning
Set up fans or portable air conditioning units to keep the air moving and calm. If you’re moving into a new home, ensure the air conditioning works before you arrive.
- Take breaks in air-conditioned spaces
If you’re moving locally in the UAE, take breaks in air-conditioned areas like malls or cafes to cool off and rest. If you’re moving internationally, consider booking a hotel room for a few nights to give yourself time to acclimate to the new climate.
- Use heat-resistant packing materials
Choose heat-resistant materials like plastic bins or metal containers to protect your belongings from heat damage when packing. Avoid packing delicate items like electronics or artwork in boxes that could be affected by extreme temperatures.
- Hire professional movers
Hiring a professional moving company can help reduce the physical strain of moving and ensure that your belongings are properly packed and protected during the move.
Moving in the summer heat adds some difficult issues, but with careful planning and preparation, you can stay relaxed and comfortable during your move. Following these tips ensures a smooth transition to your new home, whether moving locally within the UAE or internationally.
