I lost sight of the "heat and drought" part of this question. I usually
water either early or late. Try to never water when the temperature is 90 or
higher. With the narrow band of water, the foliage rarely gets wet, which is
another advantage.
In a normal year, mother nature would be tending the watering by now and the
soil would release moisture at a much slower rate.
