Extreme Heat Predicted: How Will It Affect Concord, NC?
The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, and Union Counties—including Concord, NC—due to dangerously high heat index values up to 106°F. This alert is active from noon to 8PM on Monday, July 21. Such extreme heat can have a wide impact across our homes, transportation, and daily routines. Have you considered what this means for your roof and your family’s safety?
What Should Concord Residents Watch Out For?
- Home interiors: Unchecked heat can cause attic and upper-level rooms to become stifling, increasing energy costs and putting extra stress on your cooling system.
- Roofing materials: Shingles, tiles, and sealants can warp or deteriorate faster during high-heat events.
- Transportation: Pavement and car interiors heat up rapidly—never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles.
- Local infrastructure: Power outages become more likely as air conditioners run overtime. Stay hydrated and check on vulnerable neighbors.
Local Outdoor Event Spotlight: Charlotte Summer Makers Market
Planning to get out and enjoy local events? The Charlotte Summer Makers Market is happening Sunday, July 20, 2025, from 1PM to 5PM at Burial Beer Co (1214 Thomas Ave, Charlotte). If you go, be sure to take frequent breaks indoors, drink plenty of water, and protect yourself from the sun. Extreme temperatures can sneak up fast, especially during outdoor markets and festivals.
Preventative Roofing Measures for Severe Heat
Did you know extreme heat can reveal or accelerate hidden roof problems? Here’s how to prepare:
- Visually inspect your attic and ceilings for signs of leaks or sagging—heat can worsen small issues quickly.
- Check for missing, curled, or cracked shingles—these are prime targets for damage in high heat.
- Keep gutters and downspouts clear—a sudden summer storm after a heatwave can quickly overwhelm clogged drainage.
- Consider scheduling a free professional roof inspection to catch issues before they worsen. Curious what it will cost to get your roof repaired correctly? Request a quote today.
