I'm planning to scarify and aerate my lawn for the first time this year since we've got some worn-out spots in the back garden due to our dog. I'm hoping these methods will help, but I've been looking into the timing. It seems like now might be the right time, but with the weather forecasting rain every day, I'm wondering if I should wait until later in the month for possibly drier conditions or just go ahead and do it now.

I'd say go for it! Ideally, you want to get it done in the next few weeks while it’s still warm. Plus, if you're thinking of overseeding, now's a good time. Just keep in mind, you can aerate and do light top dressing any time of year. Just don’t overdo it and remember to water and feed afterwards!
Got it! But is there any concern if the grass is a bit wet? It's not soggy or anything, but just wanted to double-check if I need it to be completely dry.
