How Hot Is It?

On your roof, where roofers are working to get your shingles in place before the next rain? As much as 150 degrees.

In the recent extreme heat, temperatures in the Kansas City area have hit three digits. The materials on roofs are designed to reflect heat, helping to keep the homes they protect cooler.

If you're on the roof, that means that the heat is reflected right onto you. At noon, you'll be just about at the right temperature for barbecue.

The only solution is not to work on the roof at noon. This is why most roofers work early and late, and not in the middle of the day.
