The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Heat Advisory for Concord, NC and surrounding areas, starting June 24, 2025 at 9:34AM EDT and remaining in effect until 8:00PM EDT on June 25, 2025. This alert warns of dangerously high heat index values, expected to reach up to 112°F. If you live in Cabarrus County or plan to be outdoors in Concord, your health, your property, and your home’s infrastructure—especially your roof—could be impacted by this severe weather event.
What Does This Heat Advisory Mean For Concord?
- Heat index values: Up to 112°F—combining high temperatures and humidity
- Location: Central North Carolina, including Concord and Cabarrus County
- When: Until Wednesday, June 25 at 8 PM EDT
High heat and humidity can cause serious illnesses like heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Vulnerable groups—children, seniors, and those with health conditions—are most at risk. The NWS recommends drinking plenty of fluids, staying indoors in air-conditioned rooms, and regularly checking on relatives and neighbors.
Local Outdoor Events During the Advisory
Planning to head out? Be extra careful! The Queen Charlotte Fair is happening at Route 29 Pavilion in Concord from June 19–July 5, 2025. With rides, food, and fun, it’s a highlight of summer, but extreme heat makes outdoor activities riskier. If you visit, bring extra water, take breaks in shaded areas, and watch for signs of heat stress in yourself and loved ones.
How Extreme Heat Impacts Your Roof and Home
- Shingle Damage: Prolonged sun exposure and high temperatures can cause shingles to dry, crack, or curl, making your roof vulnerable to leaks.
- Attic Overheating: Poor ventilation can turn your attic into an oven, raising indoor temperatures and stressing your air conditioning system.
- Structural Stress: Heat can cause roofing materials to expand, leading to warping or deformation—especially in older roofs.
Have you noticed warped shingles or unusual heat indoors? Extreme weather like this is a common culprit. Curious if your roof is ready for another NC summer?
Preventative Roofing Measures for Heat Waves
- Inspect attic ventilation—clear any blockages for better airflow
- Check for cracked, curled, or missing shingles from previous storms
- Schedule a professional inspection during heat advisories—identifying minor problems now prevents major repairs later
- Consider cool-roof solutions or lighter-colored shingles for better heat reflection
