Attic temperatures in Montebello drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation counts more here than the brochure suggests.

Dust and grit settle on Montebello roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains.

That is as true in Montebello as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
