I am doing mine after dark, to save the grass from scorching, plus i guess a lot less water evaporates. I think something is wrong with my camera, but the lawn (after four days in this pic) is looking lovely

Nothing.

The garden's as dry as a dead dingo's dirtbox.

Mains water pressure where I live is so low (< 1 bar), sprinklers running 24/7 are having almost no effect.

I'd still water a new lawn, rain or shine

Ridiculous water pressure here in MK, give me a grid reference, i can probably hit your house from here

Could do with it. It's sodding warm and muggy here. Forecast says we're due thunderstorms on Sunday.

Yup, very black clouds! I think the worst of it has passed now and is on its way up to you.. it hasn't actually rained here but i am sure someone is going to get some..
