Moving in June in Reno and Sparks

June is the first full summer month, and the numbers show it: no freezing mornings, almost no rain at 0.41 inches and ten days that reach 90 F. The sun rises near 5:31 am and does not set until about 8:27 pm in mid-June.

Starting before the heat

With a 53.8 F average low, early mornings are the most comfortable hours. An early start lets heavy furniture move before the afternoon high of 84.6 F, and ten June days will reach 90 F or more. Ask your estimator what start time fits your building and your date.

Plan water, shade and breaks for everyone on site, and keep pets indoors or away. Rooms with south or west windows warm quickly, so pull the blinds the evening before to keep the house cooler for the crew and for any furniture that waits inside.

Almost fifteen hours of daylight

On June 21 the warehouse sunrise is about 5:31 am and the sunset about 8:29 pm: 14.97 hours of light. A move that begins at breakfast can finish in daylight even with a long drive.

That light also helps long-distance loading, since the trailer is packed in the cool morning and sealed by afternoon.

School is out

Washoe County School District balanced-calendar students finish on Friday, June 4, 2027, and Incline Village students on Wednesday, June 9, 2027, according to the district. After that date many families move at once.

If your closing is in the first half of June, request your dates now. Weekday dates are often easier to schedule than Saturdays.

Protecting belongings in warm weather

• Candles, crayons, lipstick and wax items can soften; carry them in your own car.
• Plants should travel in the shade; see moving with plants.
• Refrigerators should be emptied and defrosted a day early; see how to move a refrigerator.
• Leave gaps between boxes in your car for airflow.
• Pack medicines and electronics in your own vehicle, not on the truck.
