What You Need to Know About Today’s Heat Advisory
Today, Concord and the surrounding counties are under a Heat Advisory, with heat index values expected to soar between 105 and 109 degrees through 8:00 PM. This level of heat brings more than just discomfort—it can impact your health, daily routines, and even your home’s structural integrity.
Local Outdoor Events to Keep in Mind
- Harmony Under the Stars Dinner Experience — If you plan to attend this outdoor dining event in downtown Concord tonight, be sure to take necessary precautions to stay cool and hydrated.
- Hornets Hoops Summer Camp (July 28–31 at Covenant Presbyterian Church) — Parents and campers should be extra mindful of the heat, especially during outdoor drills and activities.
Are you planning to enjoy these events or just spending time outside at home? Make sure to watch for signs of heat exhaustion, take breaks in the shade, and drink plenty of water. Extreme heat can sneak up fast—especially for children or older adults.
How Excessive Heat Can Impact Your Roof
It’s easy to forget how intense summer sun and high humidity can affect the very roof over your head. Prolonged exposure to today’s extreme temperatures can:
- Accelerate the aging of shingles, causing them to crack or curl
- Lead to bubbling or blistering in roofing materials
- Dry out sealants, increasing the risk of leaks
- Compromise attic ventilation, raising home energy costs
Curious what this kind of heat might do to your own roof? If you notice new warping, blistered shingles, or overheated attic spaces, it may be time for an inspection. Sun and Heat Exposure: Long Term Effects On Roofs

- Keep gutters clear to prevent added stress from sudden summer storms.
- Look for signs of shingle discoloration or curling after the advisory passes.
- Schedule a free professional roof inspection—catching small issues early saves major headaches later.
