When Will Extreme Heat Become Unlivable?

4. Mowing in the morning is harder

All the dew from overnight humidity is on it, making the grass tougher to mow.

Try mowing in the evening, after the sun has baked off all that moisture. The grass won't stick and clump, and pushing the mower isn't as hard on you.

Also, spray WD-40 on the bottom deck and blades, to prevent grass from sticking to those surfaces.

Wet grass sticking to the underside of a mower makes it heavier, harder to push, and it mows less efficiently.

The 18-year-old who mows my lawn keeps mowing it in the morning, and I keep telling him to do it in the evening, but he won't listen. He's exhausted after mowing my small lawn, and he's young and strong.

So please, try mowing just before sunset. I think you'll feel less fatigued.
