NOAA Predicts Active 2025 Hurricane Season: Here’s How to Prepare Your Roof

As the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season approaches, homeowners across the Southeast and other coastal regions must prepare for what could be a particularly dangerous year. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this year’s season is expected to be above average in terms of storm frequency and intensity.

For residents and property owners, especially those in hurricane-prone zones, this means it’s time to prioritize home protection. And one of the most critical components to secure is your roof. At Logams Roofing, we specialize in helping homeowners strengthen their homes against nature’s most powerful forces. Here’s what you need to know to stay safe and storm-ready.

What To Expect: 2025 Hurricane Forecast

NOAA's 2025 outlook is one of the most active predictions in recent years:

  • 13 to 19 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher)
  • 6 to 10 hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher)
  • 3 to 5 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher, with winds of 111 mph or more)

This forecast is significantly above the 30-year average and is driven by a mix of contributing climate conditions:

  • Unusually warm Atlantic Ocean temperatures, providing extra fuel for tropical storms
  • Neutral El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions, which reduce atmospheric stability and can lead to more frequent storms
  • Weaker wind shear and trade winds, making it easier for storms to intensify
  • An active West African monsoon, which often contributes to the formation of powerful Atlantic hurricanes

Given this outlook, now is the time to take preventative steps—especially when it comes to the integrity of your roofing system.

Why Roofing Matters in a hurricane

Your roof serves as the first line of defense during a hurricane. High winds, torrential rain, and airborne debris can cause significant damage, leading to costly repairs or even total roof failure. A compromised roof can expose the interior of your home to water intrusion, mold growth, and structural weakening.

That’s why preparing your roof for hurricane season isn’t just recommended—it’s essential.

Essential Roof Prep Tips

1. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection

A thorough inspection by a qualified roofing expert is the best way to spot vulnerabilities before a storm strikes. At Logams Roofing, our technicians check for:

  • Loose or missing shingles
  • Cracked flashing
  • Weak seals around vents and chimneys
  • Signs of water damage or rot

This proactive approach allows for timely repairs that can prevent major issues during extreme weather events.

2. Reinforce Roofing Materials

Older roofing systems may not meet modern building codes or withstand hurricane-strength winds. Reinforcing your roof with hurricane clips, upgraded shingles, or impact-resistant materials can significantly enhance durability.

Consider investing in Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, which are specifically designed to hold up under the stress of wind-driven debris.

3. Clean and Secure Gutters and Downspouts

Proper drainage is crucial during a hurricane. Clogged gutters can lead to water backup and roof leaks. Make sure gutters and downspouts are clean and securely attached to handle heavy rainfall.

4. Check Roof Flashing and Seals

Flashing is the metal strip that seals joints and edges of your roof. If it’s loose or damaged, it can become a major weak point during high winds. We check all flashing around skylights, chimneys, and valleys to ensure it's tightly secured.

5. Trim Overhanging Branches

Trees close to your home can become a liability during a hurricane. Trim back any overhanging limbs that could break off and damage your roof.

6. Secure Roof-Mounted Equipment

If you have satellite dishes, solar panels, or HVAC units mounted on your roof, make sure they’re properly anchored. Loose equipment can be torn off, damaging both the item and the roof surface.

The Cost Of Neglect

Failing to prepare your roof for hurricane season can lead to devastating consequences. Water intrusion is one of the most common and costly forms of storm damage. Once moisture enters your home, it can destroy insulation, drywall, and flooring—not to mention pose health risks from mold.

Insurance claims can be denied if damage is attributed to poor maintenance. That’s why investing in roof preparedness is not just a protective measure—it’s a financial safeguard.
