The dry air keeps moss. Rot at bay yet it also makes the material more brittle forces it through continual thermal cycling and sometimes lets the wind lift it. As a result roofs there often outlast their Puget Sound counterparts but they succumb more quickly to sun‑and‑heat‑related wear.

In Yakima the wind that sweeps through spring and summer, often bringing hail and orchard debris, is the leading cause of roof damage, lifting and cracking shingles.
