Summer Extremes: How L&M Warehouse & Distribution Stays Ahead of Heat and Storms

At L&M Distribution & Logistics we know that summer isn’t just about longer days and rising temperatures—it’s also the season of unpredictable weather, powerful storms, and intense heat. For businesses that rely on consistent logistics and storage, these extremes can present real challenges. That’s why we’ve made it a top priority to stay ahead of the curve, ensuring that your products are protected and your supply chain stays resilient, no matter what the forecast says.

Heat Happens. We’re Ready.

Warehousing during the summer means planning for high temperatures and the risks they bring. Heat can compromise sensitive goods, degrade packaging, and even affect machinery performance. At L&M, we take a proactive approach:

  • Routine Equipment Checks: Our team schedules more frequent inspections of HVAC systems, forklifts, and dock equipment to ensure everything runs smoothly—even when the mercury spikes.
  • Employee Safety First: Extreme heat isn’t just a threat to products—it’s a safety concern for our team. We’ve implemented hydration stations, heat safety protocols, and regular wellness checks to keep our staff healthy and productive.
  • Climate-Controlled Storage: We offer temperature-regulated zones that are ideal for products that need a consistent environment.

When Storms Hit, We Don’t Miss a Beat

Thunderstorms, heavy winds, flash flooding—these are summer norms that can disrupt operations without warning. At L&M, preparation is part of our DNA:

  • Storm-Ready Facilities: Our buildings are fortified with weather-resistant features, backup generators, and advanced drainage systems to minimize the risk of flooding and power loss.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: We utilize weather tracking systems and supply chain visibility tools that alert our team to changes before they become disruptions.
  • Contingency Plans in Action: We don’t wait for emergencies to build a plan. Every summer, our team reviews and updates storm response strategies—from rerouting shipments to securing inventory.

Why It Matters

In logistics, reliability is everything. When heat waves roll in or storms threaten to shut down operations, we continue moving forward—because your business depends on it. L&M’s commitment to preparedness means fewer delays, lower risk, and peace of mind for our partners.

Whether you’re a long-time client or considering L&M for your storage and distribution needs, know this: we don’t just react to summer extremes—we anticipate them.

Stay cool. Stay safe. Stay ahead—with L&M Distribution & Logistics.
