Battling the Elements – What to Know About Moving During Severe Weather in Wollongong (Local or Interstate)
By 777 World Removals – Keeping It Real, Rain or Shine
Let’s be honest, moving house is stressful enough without Mother Nature chucking a tantrum on moving day. Whether you’re packing up your place in Wollongong to head across town, up to Brissy, or down to chilly old Melbourne – if there’s a storm brewin’, you better be ready.
Here’s the real-deal Aussie guide to handling your move when the weather turns feral.
️ First Up – Check the Forecast, Mate
Before you start chucking boxes into the back of the ute, do yourself a favour and check the forecast. BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) isn’t just for surf checks – it’ll tell you if heavy rain, strong winds, or wild lightning is on the way. Don’t just wing it – storms around the Illawarra and down to the Southern Highlands can get nasty real quick.
Pack Like a Pro (Even if You’re Not One)
When clouds start lookin’ angry, waterproofing is your best mate. Double-layer the boxes, wrap your gear in plastic if you can, and chuck the essentials in sealed containers. Don’t forget the towels – always handy for mopping up soggy bits.
Our crew at 777 World Removals use heavy-duty blankets and water-resistant wraps – no shortcuts, just proper care to keep your stuff bone-dry, even when it’s pouring sideways.
Be Smart with the Truck Load
If it’s blowin’ a gale and rainin’ cats and dogs, you don’t want your mattress hangin’ out the back like a soggy sponge. Secure everything tight, cover the whole lot, and make sure the path to the truck isn’t a slip’n’slide. Safety first, always.
Have a Plan B – Seriously
Sometimes the weather wins – it’s just how it goes. That’s why we always have a backup plan for every local and interstate move. At 777 World Removals, if the weather turns real crook, we’ll work with you to reschedule or delay parts of the move to make sure your gear (and you) stay safe.
No point busting your back in the rain and ending up with waterlogged furniture and busted electronics.
Communication Is Key
Stay in touch with your movers. A proper removalist crew (like ours) will keep you in the loop. We’ll check in on weather warnings, road closures, and safe access, so you’re never caught off guard.
Plus, we’ll tell ya if there’s a smarter time to load up and head off – especially for long hauls from Wollongong to Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, or anywhere in between.
️ Final Thought: Don’t Be a Hero, Call the Pros
You could try to DIY your move during a wild weather warning, or you could let us do the heavy lifting while you stay dry and sip a cuppa. We’ve handled moves through wind, rain, and even hail – and we’ve always delivered with a smile.
