Can you cut grass when it is lightly raining?

Answer 1

not supposed to for all the answers already given, but I've seen people mowing when it was pouring.

Answer 2

You can cut the grass in the rain, but few suggestions for you:
* Just make sure that you are not using an electric lawn mower to protect yourself from possible electric shock
* I understand, in some area, we have lots of rain or sometimes we have a rain every day, there are few suggestions:
Mowing Wet Grass
With the rainy weather lately, it is inevitable that you will have to mow when it is wet. Though we much prefer to mow when the grass is dry, it is better to mow when wet rather than waiting until the grass is dry but grown to 8 inches tall. A couple of pointers for mowing wet grass:

1. Sharpen the blade before mowing (like knives, a mower blade can never be too sharp)
2. Set the mower as high as possible
3. Remove mulching attachments in favor of side-discharge
4. Mow so the grass is discharged onto the already mown area
5. Mow as often as possible to break up the clumps from earlier mowings. “Double-mowing” or mowing twice in the same day dramatically helps to break up the clippings.
6. In the worse case, bag the clippings and use as mulch or compost .

Answer 3

It's better not to if you can avoid it. It compacts the soil under the grass when you walk on it when it is wet. Also as other people said, it clumps on the blades.

Answer 4

Unless your blade is very sharp you won't get a good clean cut, & you could get hit by lightning.

Answer 5

Yes, It's just a little harder too.The gass gets clumpy on you,and makes it haard to pull it, unless you have one that goes by it's self. Self propelled is the word.Duh!

Answer 6

better when grass is dry...

Answer 7

you can, but why would you want to?
