You can skip watering the grass today. It could do more harm than good...

If you lightly water your lawn once a day – that’s too much... 

Daily watering only encourages your grass to develop shallow root systems. Turf experts say the best approach is to give your lawn one long soaking for about 30 minutes – per month!

That might not sound like enough – but it is if you water it right. You want to be sure you do it in the early morning, between 4 and 7 am. You’ll also want to avoid watering in windy or breezy conditions. And stop cutting it so often. You should let it grow to about 5 inches before mowing.
