Mowing your lawn when it is wet (during the rain and immediately after rain) is not a good idea. You can damage the grass; there are several ways you can damage it. The (major reason) are the wheels of the mower can ripe the plant and the soil as you turn the mower. If you live next to a wetland you can have water under the soil and the soil moves like waves (I mowed a business next to a wetland and had this happen to me). When mowing wet grass you more likely to have clumping of grass. Clumping of the grass clippings could shade out the turf and create dead spots in your lawn. The mower blade(s) does not do a quality cut of the turf. During a rainstorm I watch my neighbor's landscaper mow the lawn. The only thing I saw being discharged was water. The lawn did not look good after he was done. A landscaper that mows during or right after a rainstorm is not a good quality company.
