Morning grass cutting rules

Don’t cut wet grass. You should mow in late afternoon.

What? No

At dawn we ride

Suns up, blades down.

I never cared to cut my grass when it was wet. So Id just not be a pussy about the heat and cut in the afternoon.

Commercial property, no rules. If your mower has lights, get after it at 2:00 am if you want.
Residential, I use the “know your neighbors” technique.
My neighbor works shift work doing military training, and another that’s a nurse, if I look outside and see their vehicles home, I’ll wait till afternoon at the earliest, assuming they’re working nights.
Other than that, I say 9:00 is a feasible time to fire up.

I did not come to this realization until I had kids

I wait until the dew dries then I'm out there. I don't understand how people can mow wet grass.

Maybe I'd feel different if I used a riding mower, but I'm not walking through soaking wet grass at 7 in the morning.

A couple of weeks ago, I worked in my yard from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. I drank plenty of water, had shade on my head, sunscreen on my body, and took two or three 10 to 15 minutes breaks.

I came inside, and felt dizzy, nauseous, and very weak. I think I was suffering from light heat exhaustion. And maybe even dehydration even though I drank about 80 ounces of water in that time span.

The heat, with humidity, is no joke. I'm going to tackle my yard again tomorrow, and this time, I am doing it around 7 a.m., maybe even a little earlier to avoid the sauna as much as I can.
