Good hardwood such as oak, walnut or even softwoods like cedar are very tough and have strong resistance against the element of weather. You can use them to move items under any weather condition and the items packed in them will remain as they are. So, if you are moving items sensitive to temperature, you should crate them in wooden crates for shipping especially if there is no temperature control features in the vehicle, vessel or aircraft they are being transported with.
