First, a good soak will hydrate plants and prepare them for the stress of the afternoon heat.
Second, wet foliage can quickly dry, reducing the possibility of fungal and other diseases.

Also, keep in mind that plant roots absorb water much more slowly at night.
Water before it is dark, so your plants aren’t sitting in excessively wet soil overnight.
