Water and moisture are not very friendly to furniture and anything that has wood and cloth. That is why you should anticipate the occurrence of rain when packing your things. Aside from putting your things in boxes, you should wrap your things in plastic so water will not get absorbed when it rains. Your furniture should be wrapped with shrink wrap especially in the wood and cloth areas. Of course, everything else should be protected so you will not damage anything during the move.
But besides your things, you also have to protect your new home. For one, rain does not only get your things wet but muddy as well. This becomes more of an issue when your things go inside and you have a newly-installed beautiful carpet in your new home. So you have to protect your carpet with a carpet shield. Not only will this protect your carpet but keep everybody from slipping because of the mud.
Hardwood can also be damaged during a rainy day move. To protect your hardwood flooring, you need a neoprene cushion. This will not only keep the floor from getting muddy but protect the floors from being scratched and chipped.
If it is really so rainy, you can ask the removals company if they can reschedule with minimal or zero extra cost. If you are doing it yourself, you can reschedule the move just to avoid the hassles and to avoid damaging your things.
