How Extreme Heat Impacts Your Roof and Home
Blistering temperatures like these aren’t just uncomfortable—they can put your home’s roof and critical systems under real stress. High heat can cause shingles to warp, crack, or even accelerate aging, especially if your roof is already a few years old.

Preventative Measures: Protecting Your Roof During a Heat Wave
Want to minimize weather-related roofing damage? Consider these actions before and during extreme heat:
- Inspect for loose or curling shingles: These are more vulnerable to heat damage.
- Check attic ventilation: Proper airflow can reduce roof surface temperatures and extend roof life.
- Clear gutters and downspouts: Blockages can trap heat and moisture, worsening roof wear.
- Look for interior signs of damage: Ceiling stains or unexplained moisture may point to heat-related roof issues.

Local Outdoor Events to Be Aware Of During the Heat Advisory
If you’re planning to attend an outdoor event, please stay weather-aware:
- Christmas in July MEGA Market at Cabarrus Arena & Events Center (July 26–27): If you visit, hydrate regularly and take cooling breaks inside the arena.
If you’re considering a run or walk at one of Concord’s parks or trails, try to schedule your activity for early morning or late evening, when temperatures are lower.
Community and Infrastructure Concerns
- Check on neighbors, especially seniors and those without reliable cooling
- Transport delays are possible as roads and equipment may overheat
- Power outages are more likely during heat waves—secure any loose roofing materials if storms are forecast to follow the heat
Stay Safe and Take Action
Don’t forget—never leave children or pets in vehicles. Drink plenty of fluids, opt for air-conditioned spaces, and limit time in the sun.
