ORLANDO, Fla. – With summer right around the corner, and Central Florida temperatures rising, it’s important to know when and how to properly water your lawn.

News 6 meteorologist Candace Campos has some tips for watering your lawn and provided a breakdown on the designated watering days in place during daylight saving time across Central Florida counties.

Quick facts on how to efficiently water yards:

Water in the morning right before sunrise. Usually during this time, the grass is already damp and is prime to absorb additional water.
It is best to water for about 30 minutes in each zone around your home. Anything more could increase chances for mold to grow, and anything less won’t penetrate the soil enough.
During daylight saving time, all counties in Central Florida allow two days of watering per week, depending on your address numbers. Those days are listed below.
