In Birmingham the humid subtropical climate dishes out, about 54 inches of rain each year a 1 to 3 inches of snow blistering summer sun with high UV intensity and the occasional jolt of severe thunderstorms or tornado gusts. This cocktail fuels algae, moss rot, thermal cracking and storm‑related wear generally trimming asphalt‑shingle lifespans to a modest 15, 20 years while metal roofs often clock 40 years or more.
