Daylight has fallen to about 12.5 hours, and demand eases after Labor Day, which makes September a calm month for a move. or call [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683) [4.3 on Google · 71 reviews](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/reviews/) Family owned since 1941 [U.S. DOT No. 30611](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/about/licenses-and-authority/) ## September in Reno by the numbers - Average high / low 84 F / 50 F - Precipitation 0.21 in - Snowfall 0.0 in - Days at or below freezing 0 - Days at 90 F or hotter 8 - Sunrise / sunset mid-month (approx.) 6:39 / 19:10 Data (station Reno-Tahoe International Airport): [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals); [NOAA solar calculator equations (approximate)](https://gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/). September is where the heat finally breaks. Days at 90 F or above fall from 21.8 in August to 7.5, and the mornings cool to a 50.3 F average low. The summer rush ends with the school year underway, so it is easier to find a weekday or a weekend that fits. ## Comfortable moving weather An 83.8 F high is warm but workable, and a 50.3 F low means mornings need a jacket. The month has almost no rain, with 0.21 inches on about 2 days. For hauling furniture up stairs, the weather in September is easier on everyone than July. Freezing mornings have not started yet. The airport's normals show zero days at or below freezing in September, so ice is not a concern. ## Light is back to twelve and a half hours On September 15 the sun rises at the warehouse at about 6:39 am and sets at about 7:10 pm. The 12.5 hours of daylight are close to an even day and night, so a full-day move fits easily in daylight. Plan the unloading end of a trip first if you are driving late, since evenings begin to cool by 7 pm. ## Labor Day weekend and traffic Labor Day weekend brings heavy travel on Interstate 80 and US 395, and a moving truck is easiest to schedule outside that weekend. Ask your estimator about the days before or after. For long-distance moves through the Sierra, check Nevada 511 and the Caltrans pages on the morning of travel; early fall storms can bring chain controls on the passes. ## Why September suits a lot of households - Calendars open up after Labor Day, so you can often choose your day. - Families with children settle once the school year has started; see [moving with kids](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-with-kids/). - Homeowners selling after the summer market can use storage; see [storage while you sell your home](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/storage-while-selling-a-home/). - Employers relocate staff in the fall; see [moving for a new job](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-for-a-new-job/). - A free in-home estimate brings 10 free heavy-duty boxes. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [NOAA NCEI, U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) - [NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory, Solar Calculator](https://gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/) - [Nevada 511, road conditions](https://www.nvroads.com) ### Free in-home estimate - An O'Brien's estimator walks through your home - A written, itemized estimate - 10 free heavy-duty boxes, yours to keep [How our estimates work](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/how-our-estimates-work/) ### Visit or call the office 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks, NV 89431 [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683) | Monday to Friday | 8:00 am to 5:00 pm | | --- | --- | | Saturday and Sunday | Closed | [Get my free estimate](#estimate) ### Related - [Moving in Reno in August](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-in-august/) - [Moving in Reno in October](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-in-october/) - [A moving timeline that works](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-timeline/) - [Moving for a new job](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-for-a-new-job/) Moving month by month ## Read next - [Moving in Reno in October](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-in-october/) - [Moving in Reno in November](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-in-november/) - [Moving in Reno in December](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-in-december/) - [Moving at Lake Tahoe and Truckee in winter](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-at-lake-tahoe-in-winter/) - [Moving at Lake Tahoe and Truckee in spring](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-at-lake-tahoe-in-spring/) - [Moving at Lake Tahoe and Truckee in summer](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-at-lake-tahoe-in-summer/) - [Moving at Lake Tahoe and Truckee in fall](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-at-lake-tahoe-in-fall/) - [Moving in Reno in January](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-in-january/) Answers ## Questions people ask Still have a question?

August 28, 2024 Extremely happy with the moving experience. The moving team showed up on time, friendly and polite. They did a wonderful job moving our boxes and furniture to the new location. We moved a three bedroom home and I could not be more pleased with the employees who assisted with the move. Highly recommend O'Brien moving for your move. ### Owner's reply Michelle, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We are so happy to hear about the move experience you had with our company and glad to know we met your expectations! It means a lot to us to know that. Thank you for choosing us as your moving partner. S Sonia P. August 4, 2023 Talk about organized people. I peeked in the truck about an hour into the job and was amazed at how well organized it was and how many of my things had protective coverings. Our bed is a mechanical one and a nightmare to us, but these guys had no issue with it at all. Although I have no desire to ever move again--but if I did, I would be calling these guys for sure!!! J Jennifer C. August 3, 2023 Customer service, packers, and loaders were very responsive, professional, and did an overall great job. ## Get your free, in-home moving estimate An estimator visits, walks through everything and gives you a written, itemized estimate.
