Weathering the Storm: A Recap of the 2023 Hail Season for Roofing Professionals

The 2023 severe weather season left an indelible mark on the United States, especially for roofers facing the challenges posed by hail and gusty winds. In this blog, we'll delve into the key highlights, the impact on the roofing industry, and how you can turn these challenges into opportunities for your business.

While the overall number of hail reports in 2023 was average, what set this season apart was the colossal size of hailstones. The impact was substantial, with a staggering 2.5x the average number of reports featuring baseball-sized hail or larger. This led to over 12 events, each causing more than $1 billion in insured losses. The epicenter of severe hail events? Colorado, Texas, and Kansas.

Wind, a perennial player in severe weather, again dominated the season with a total of 17,123 reports. This dynamic underscores the importance of preparedness for both hail and wind-related challenges in the roofing industry.

As we transition to winter and early 2024, the presence of El Nino conditions in the tropical Pacific Ocean signals the potential for increased severe weather activity across the southern U.S. Roofers need to stay vigilant and adaptive to navigate the evolving landscape of storm-related challenges.
