Long Island’s weather creates serious problems for stored belongings. Summer temperatures in non-climate-controlled units easily exceed 100 degrees. Winter temperatures drop below freezing.

Humidity levels stay controlled around 55 percent, which prevents moisture damage without over-drying materials.
