Heat Advisory Details: Issued by NWS Raleigh NC on June 23 at 8:45 PM EDT. Effective until June 25, 2025, at 8:00 PM EDT. Expect heat index values up to 109°F for Concord and much of central North Carolina.
What the Heat Advisory Means for Concord
With heat index values soaring as high as 109°F, the risk of heat-related illnesses is very real. The advisory is in effect during a busy time for summer activities, outdoor events, and home maintenance projects across Concord. Staying prepared is key—not just for your health, but for your property as well.
Local Outdoor Events During the Heat Advisory
- Queen Charlotte Fair at Route 29 Pavilion in Concord runs from June 19–July 5, 2025. If you're planning to attend, make sure to take breaks in shaded areas and stay hydrated.
- Kannapolis Summer Entertainment Series features concerts at Village Park. Consider attending evening performances when temperatures are slightly cooler.
Heat not only affects people—it can take a toll on your home, too. Extreme temperatures put extra stress on roofing systems, especially those already worn from previous storms.
Preventative Measures to Minimize Heat-Related Roofing Damage
- Inspect Your Roof for Signs of Wear: High temperatures can worsen existing damage, like cracked or curling shingles. Look for any visible issues from the ground, especially after recent storms.
- Check Attic Ventilation: Proper airflow in your attic helps prevent heat buildup, which can warp roof decking and shorten shingle lifespan.
- Clear Gutters and Downspouts: Debris can trap heat and moisture, potentially causing rot or leaks during summer storms.
- Schedule a Free Professional Inspection: Unsure if your roof is ready for this heat wave? Our team offers complimentary inspections to catch minor issues before they become costly headaches.
Why Prompt Roof Care Matters During Extreme Heat
Did you know that Concord’s summer heat can accelerate the aging of your roof? Materials expand and contract, seals weaken, and small cracks can turn into major leaks—especially if a sudden storm follows a heatwave. Curious what it could cost to repair or replace your roof before bigger problems arise? Request a quote or inspection today—it’s quick, and there’s no obligation.
Stay Safe and Informed
- Drink plenty of fluids and avoid strenuous activity during peak heat hours (typically mid-afternoon).
- Use air conditioning or seek out public cooling centers if your home becomes too warm.
- Check on neighbors, particularly the elderly or those with health challenges.
