A roof tile has a curved upper surface that extends between leading and trailing edges,the upper surface and the leading edge being visible when the tile is laid with a plurality of similar tiles to form a roof having a plane that extends from an eave of the roof to a ridge of the roof and meets the upper surface of each tile. A curvature of the upper surface of the tile is such that, when the tile is laid, a junction between the leading edge and the upper surface of the tile lies below the plane. Wind blows up the roof from the eaves towards the ridge in the plane that meets the upper surface of each tile. Because the junction between the leading edge and the upper surface of the tile lies below the plane, the wind does not hit the junction as it is driven up the roof but instead hits the upper surface of the tile, away from the leading edge. In this way, the driven wind substantially avoids the leading edge of the tile, which reduces turbulence in front of the leading edge thereby reducing the tendency for wind-driven rain to be driven between the tiles.
