At 6:15pm CST the thermometer on our back porch, in the shade, is

We're hiding in the air conditioned house.

Gardens will have to wait to be watered until around 9pm CST when the
sun is actually going down. Birds aren't flying or singing, maybe the
bug eating birds will fly after dark around the retention pond.

90 to 100F here in the day. 50-55F at night. Humidity
is about 30% right now, but will dip to abut 10 to 15%
as the day goes on. No rain in sight.

I have been watering after dark too. Is that a good idea?
