Adelaide Summer Heat and Moving Day Planning

Adelaide's extreme summer heat (regularly above 40°C from December to February) creates significant risks for moving day, heat exhaustion for workers and heat damage to furniture, electronics, candles, and vinyl records in a hot truck. Schedule Adelaide summer moves for early morning (6am-12pm) or relocate in winter (June-August). Adelaide Hills areas can be 5-10°C cooler than the city, removalists accessing Adelaide Hills properties may encounter steep access roads. cbs.sa.gov.au
