Tampa storm activity in 2026

From March 1 through November 3, 2026, NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 2 preliminary reports of hail 1 inch or larger within 50 miles of Tampa, on 2 different days. The largest reported stone was 1.00 inches (Wesley Chapel, Pasco Co., FL, 2026-07-10). The same area had 9 preliminary wind reports.[8] Preliminary reports can include duplicates and are not a damage survey, but they help you match roof damage to a storm date.

Tampa climate notes: wind, roof age, and insurance

Florida roofs age faster. InterNACHI's Florida chart lists architectural shingles at 15 to 20 years.[9] Florida also has specific rules on roof age and insurance, and an updated "25% rule."[10][11] See the Florida 25% rule guide.

Florida rules homeowners should know

The "25% rule" and its 2022 exception

Under Florida law, if your existing roof or roof section was built, repaired, or replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, only the portion being repaired must meet the current code, even when 25% or more of that roof or section is being worked on. [11]

Claim deadlines

A new or reopened property-insurance claim is barred unless notice is given within 1 year of the date of loss, and a supplemental claim within 18 months. For windstorms and other weather events, the date of loss is the date NOAA verifies the event (or, for hurricanes, landfall). [12]

Roof age and your policy

An insurer may not refuse to issue or renew a homeowners policy solely because a roof is less than 15 years old. For roofs 15 or more years old, the insurer must allow an inspection by an authorized inspector (at the homeowner's expense), and may not refuse solely due to age if the inspection shows 5+ years of useful life remaining. [10]
