We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in Riverside County.

Our local Murrieta team responds to storm damage emergencies throughout the year, During the summer, the storms that cause wind damage are typically driven by monsoonal flows. These flows bring in moisture from the Gulf of California and the Pacific Ocean, leading to thunderstorms characterized by high winds, often exceeding 40 mph. Fueled by intense heat, these storms can develop rapidly in the afternoons, causing microbursts that result in localized wind damage.

Although not as common as in the desert regions, the edges of tropical storms or hurricanes that move northward from Baja California can also influence Murrieta. These systems can bring strong winds and heavy rains, further damaging wind.

Dust storms, also known as haboobs, are another significant weather phenomenon during the summer. These storms are propelled by strong, gusty winds that lift loose dirt and debris, reducing visibility and causing damage to structures and vegetation.

While tornadoes are rare in this region, they are not entirely unheard of and can occur during severe thunderstorm activity, adding to the potential for wind-related destruction. Overall, the summer storm season in Murrieta is marked by a variety of wind-related weather events that require vigilance and preparedness.
