DO you turn your sprinkers off when it's raining?

Our sprinklers were set to run this AM and of course, it was pouring. By the time we were up and at 'em to turn off-- they were just about done. What do you do in this sitch?

Also-- what time of day do you normally run your sprinklers??

I think they have sensors so they won't come on when it's raining.

Yes, they should have sensers. My sprinklers are set to run every other day at 4:00 AM and are finished around 6:30, just in time for me to jump in the shower.

We have sensors but I shut it anyway for this week since it will rain everyday.

I run mine 2am.

We have the rain sensors on ours so they don't go on when it's raining

Sprinklers on during the rain is a big pet peeve of mine so we got sensors.

We haven't turned our sprinklers on yet for the year, with such a wet winter and summer the soil seems plenty wet enough.
Now add in another week of rain and I might not turn them on till June
