New Braunfels Weather & Roofing: Hill Country Storm Challenges
New Braunfels sits in the Texas Hill Country where flash flooding combines with severe hail to create significant roofing challenges:
⚡ Severe Hail & Wind
Comal County experiences frequent severe weather with large hail events 2-3 times per year. Hill Country topography can intensify storms.
New Braunfels Hail Statistics:

New Braunfels is extremely vulnerable to flash flooding. The Guadalupe and Comal Rivers can rise rapidly during heavy rains, creating dangerous conditions.

Quality underlayment, proper valley flashing, efficient gutter systems essential in New Braunfels. River properties need algae-resistant materials and enhanced ventilation to combat humidity. One heavy rain exposes poor workmanship.
