NWS Update: A Heat Advisory was issued by NWS Raleigh NC on June 25 at 8:11PM EDT, effective from 11 AM to 7 PM EDT Thursday, June 26. During this period, heat index values up to 104°F are expected across Stanly County and surrounding areas. Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat-related illnesses.
What Does This Heat Advisory Mean for Concord Residents?
With the advisory in effect, Concord homeowners should take this heat seriously—not just for personal health, but for the well-being of your home. High heat can impact residential infrastructure, including roofs, siding, and even attic ventilation systems.
- Residential Concerns: Prolonged heat can accelerate shingle aging, cause warping, and weaken seals around vents and skylights.
- Transportation: Extreme temperatures may soften asphalt on roads and driveways, increasing the risk of surface damage.
- General Infrastructure: Utilities may be strained as more people run air conditioning, so be mindful of possible power interruptions.
Outdoor Events & Activities During the Heat Advisory
No major outdoor events are specifically scheduled in Concord for June 25-26, 2025. However, many residents enjoy outdoor activities this time of year, such as:
- Picnicking and hiking in local parks like Frank Liske Park or Dorton Park
- Golfing at Rocky River Golf Club
- Family fun at The Speedpark at Concord Mills
If you have plans to be outdoors, consider rescheduling for early morning or evening, stay hydrated, and take frequent breaks indoors as recommended by the National Weather Service. Extreme heat can sneak up on anyone, especially during recreational activities.
Preventative Measures for Minimizing Heat Damage to Your Roof
Did you know that excessive heat can silently degrade your roof’s integrity? Homeowners often overlook heat damage, but it can lead to leaks, higher energy bills, or ventilation problems later in the season.
- Inspect your attic insulation to ensure it’s adequate—this helps keep your home cool and reduces roof stress.
- Check for warped or lifting shingles after high heat days. Early signs often appear along ridges and edges.
- Clear out gutters and downspouts so summer rains don’t get blocked, which can worsen heat-related deterioration.
- Schedule a professional inspection—it’s free and can help catch hidden damage before it becomes a costly repair.
