What This Heat Advisory Means for Concord Residents
With dangerously high temperatures and intense humidity forecasted for Concord and Cabarrus County, it’s important to look after not only your health but your home as well. These extreme heat conditions can have significant consequences for local residences, transportation, and infrastructure:
- Increased risk of heat-related illnesses for anyone spending time outdoors
- Potential damage to roofing materials, especially older shingles or poorly ventilated attics
- Possible buckling or warping of pavement and roadways
- Strain on home cooling systems and local power grids
Curious how this heatwave could affect your home's roof? The temperature on your rooftop can soar far higher than the air temperature, putting stress on shingles, flashing, and underlying structures.
Local Outdoor Events During the Heat Advisory

- Drink plenty of fluids throughout the event
- Wear lightweight, breathable clothing

Preventative Roof Care During Extreme Heat
Did you know that repeated high temperatures can lead to cracked, curling, or blistered shingles? Here's how to minimize heat-related roof damage during this advisory:
- Inspect your attic ventilation to ensure hot air can escape

- Trim overhanging branches to allow for proper air flow above your roof
- Schedule a free professional inspection if you notice discoloration, leaks, or attic hotspots
Preventative action now can stop minor issues from becoming expensive repairs down the road.
