Highs are now regularly in the low 90s, and I've read the max temperature for is 85. But I've also read it's okay if the temperature is below 85 when you are applying, i.e., in the morning. Wanted to make sure it's okay to apply in the early AM even if the high tomorrow is 92. Have St. Augustine.

Go half rate regardless of temp to start. It’ll stunt!

I usually always apply in the evening to minimize any turf stress. I've never had any issues with celsius with high temps aside from temporary yellowing. I do have bermuda though.

Things you can do to minimize turf damage if youre worried:
1) apply in evening as stated
2) consider not using surfactant
3) spot spray instead of broadcast spray
4) do medium rate instead of high rate(but also helps to know what you're trying to kill, no sense in half assing it with medium rate if you've got a yard full of buttonweed and doveweed)

I sprayed Celsius WG and Certainty at full strength about 10-14 days ago and it was 97 degrees in the middle of the day. It did not harm my yard and I have zoysia, bermuda, and centipede.
