Daytime Watering. The best time of day to water your lawn is when air temperatures are lower and there is dew on the ground. Temperatures are usually at their lowest during the late evening or early morning. Most lawns benefit from watering two to three times per week.
In an emergency, you can safely water plants at their base in the evening; just be careful not to wet their leaves. But morning is always the best time to water. You can even safely wet plant leaves in the am if the sun will soon dry them off. Your full sun in the afternoon may simply be too much sun for tomatoes in hot areas of the country and/or during the kind of heat waves the East Coast has been having this year.
