Of course a house can be roofed at any time of the year necessary. Preferably not while its raining though. It doesn't even make a difference with most roofing products. Composition has a tar line on the shingles sealing them together that is activated by temperature. I know when I finish a house and the temperature had never reached over 60 degrees the shingles are not yet sealed together. As far as if this has any long term effect I know of none, but it is something I have thought about before when I have finished roofs just before a big storm blew in with strong gusting winds. I have yet to run into any problems with wind damage in these situations and manufacturer's don't seem to be concerned about it either. Eventually they seal down and everything is fine. Compare this to August when I can install a bundle in the sun and have those shingles sealed together before I can install another. I prefer somewhere in between. I think composition is best installed when the temperature is between 60 and 75 degrees. If it gets too hot and in direct sun the material becomes extremely soft and if an installer isn't careful when he turns on his feet he can cause what we call a burnout on the comp.

Hope this helps,
