No matter how extensively the experts try to predict the weather, sometimes the weather is just unpredictable. This is especially true when planning a move weeks, even months ahead. Even the clearest of sunny days can turn into a rain shower that completely derails your plans. That’s why the best thing to do is always plan for the unexpected. Even if the weather app says there is zero chance of bad weather, having the tools to move regardless of clear skies can make the difference between getting your move done or rescheduling and postponing it to another day.Â
The professional movers at Q’s Moving have successfully executed countless moves in bad weather. We have the tools, resources, and skills to help get your move done on the day you planned, regardless of clear skies. Feel confident that the moving process will be smooth and that moving day will be a success by contacting Q’s Moving today.Â
Moving can be stressful at any time of year in any kind of outdoor condition, but with the proper planning and team, it doesn’t need to be. The team at Q’s Moving can keep things on schedule regardless of bad weather. However, not everyone can or needs to hire a moving company, and bad weather shouldn’t be the thing that messes with their plans. Below are a few tips that can help you keep your move on track even on a rainy day.Â
Having a plan of attack, regardless of the weather conditions, is always crucial for the success of any move. It’s always good to monitor the weather the weeks prior to moving day, but these reports can change and are not always accurate. Still, these reports give you a foundation and an idea of what the weather may look like on moving day, and you can adjust your plan of action to include the different weather conditions that may exist on moving day.Â
It’s also important to communicate with anyone who may be helping you out that day. This way, your helpers will know what to expect, and you can help them prepare to move in whatever weather conditions you wake up to that day.Â
Dressing accordingly and planning your moving day wardrobe is crucial to helping moving day run smoothly. It’s important to dress not just for the season, but also for the potential weather of the day. Additional layers of protection, such as a raincoat or a heavy winter coat for bad weather situations, can keep you warm and dry while moving things out. Multiple layers mean that you can add or take aware layers and adjust as the day progresses and weather conditions change. For rainy days, rain boots and a rain jacket are a must.Â
Being diligent about packing materials is always necessary, but it’s especially important when you may be dealing with poor weather conditions. If you know that your move-in date may fall on a day with some questionable weather conditions, you need to be extra careful about how you pack your items to prevent damaging them during transit. Packing your items securely in a box protects them from damage on a sunny day, but rain and snow can potentially ruin the box and, in turn, damage the items inside.Â
To ensure the safety of your belongings, spending a little extra on durable packing materials will likely go a long way in saving you money later on. It’s often better to spend a little more on packing materials than having to replace your belongings that the weather has damaged. Waterproof bins are tightly sealed and protect your delicate items against the elements. Durable garbage bags are a quick last-minute solution that can transport your clothes and protect them. They may be wrinkled, but at least they won’t get damp and develop mold.Â
We can all hope that Mother Nature will lend us a helping hand and cooperate with our schedules, but that doesn’t always work out. At Q’s Moving, we don’t let bad weather stop us if we can help it. We know that you chose your moving day for a reason and will work hard to get the job done regardless of the weather.Â
