Most people pick a moving date based on their lease. A new study suggests they should also consider the forecast. Rove Lab’s study featured weather as a factor in its ranking of 55 U.S. cities. Rain, snow, and high humidity can turn a moving day into a nightmare, so this was a smart and unique factor to consider in their scoring index. Weather-wise, these are the worst cities to move in or out of:
- Rochester, NY: It has 168 rainy days and 65.2 snowy days per year. This is the highest combined precipitation out of any other city on the list.
- Buffalo isn’t far behind Rochester with 166 rainy days and 59.5 snow days.
- Seattle has 156 rainy days per year but almost no snow.
- Miami has the highest humidity at 73% with 141 rainy days.
Why consider the weather? Your cardboard boxes won’t hold up well in wet, damp conditions. Check out the graphic for other critical factors that could drastically impact a moving experience.
