Roof surface temperatures in Spring Valley routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof feels it. That is as true in Spring Valley as anywhere in San Diego County. Afternoon sun on a west-facing Spring Valley slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof. A light-coloured covering in Spring Valley measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning.
