Extreme, prolonged heat softens the binder holding them in place, so they shed faster than normal. A little extra granule buildup in your gutters this month isn’t a coincidence.
Shingles expand in the heat and contract as they cool, and our one hundred degree heat here in DFW just made them run that drill for weeks on end with no cloud cover to soften the blast.
As heat drives the natural oils out of asphalt shingles, the material turns brittle instead of flexible. Brittle shingles that contract overnight are prone to hairline cracks — real cracks in your roof’s waterproof layer.
For 46 straight days, Dallas-Fort Worth hasn’t seen a drop of measurable rain — tying the 1974 record and marking the 10th-longest dry stretch in local history. A drought-stressed roof meets its moment of truth the first time water actually hits it — every crack the summer opened up gets tested at once, all at the same time.
Get ahead of the quiz with an inspection before the rain arrives. It’s far easier — and cheaper — to seal a hairline crack today than to chase a leak once drywall and insulation are already wet. Consider it the difference between studying ahead and cramming the night before.
By the numbers: 46 days and counting without measurable rain, tied for the 10th-longest dry streak on record and matching a mark last set in 1974.

September 5, 1836 — Sam Houston was elected the first president of the Republic of Texas, just months after commanding Texas forces to victory at San Jacinto.
