2. Don’t Forget The Water

In Arizona, It is extremely easy to overheat without even knowing it. You are doing more physical activity than you may realize when moving, so staying consistent in drinking water is key to avoid dehydration. Keep a cooler of water bottles easily accessible for yourself and those helping you move.

3. Get Started Early

In Arizona Summers, you can expect to see the sun start to rise closer to 5:30AM. Temperatures around this time are high 80’s to low 90’s.
