Extreme Heat Advisory for Concord and Cabarrus County
The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for Cabarrus County and surrounding areas today, June 26, 2025. Heat index values are expected to soar between 105 and 108 degrees Fahrenheit from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This dangerous combination of high temperatures and humidity poses a serious risk of heat-related illnesses.
How Can This Affect Your Home and Roof?
Extreme heat doesn’t just impact people—it can also take a toll on your home’s structure, especially your roof. When temperatures spike this high, shingles can expand, warp, or become brittle. This makes roofs more vulnerable to sudden summer storms that often follow heatwaves in Concord. Curious if your roof is at risk or showing signs of heat damage?
- Shingle Curling or Cracking: Notice warped or cracked shingles? This is often the first sign of heat stress.
- Blistering: Small bubbles or blisters on the surface of shingles can indicate trapped moisture or overheating.
- Sagging or Soft Spots: Prolonged heat can weaken roof decking, leading to structural issues over time.
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to leaks or even more severe storm damage later in the season. We strongly recommend scheduling a free professional roof inspection today—especially after any extreme weather event.
Outdoor Events and Staying Safe in the Heat
If you plan to be outdoors, be aware that several local events may be impacted by the advisory. For instance, the Open Mic Night at Cabarrus Brewing Co. is scheduled from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM outdoors. High temperatures can increase the risk of heat exhaustion, so consider attending only if you can stay shaded and hydrated. The Gov 101: Sauté the Summer event also takes place in Concord this afternoon—check with organizers about heat precautions or possible schedule changes.
Essential Heat Safety Tips for Homeowners
- Stay indoors during peak heat hours whenever possible.
- Drink plenty of fluids—even if you don’t feel thirsty.
- Never leave children or pets in parked cars.
- Check on neighbors, especially the elderly or those with health concerns.
- Schedule outdoor activities for early morning or evening when temperatures are lower.
