Asphalt (Composition) Shingles: The ideal temperature range to install asphalt shingles is between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Colder than 70 degrees and the adhesive will not reach the ideal elasticity and will not create a perfect seal.n other cases, a storm producing high winds or driving rain could damage a shingle before it has a chance to seal properly. Asphalt shingles can be installed properly during cold weather (late fall and winter) only if additional, costly measures are taken.
