It’s not out of control, but is looking a little tall.

It's not that hot. You are just looking for excuses and wanting validation.

1 hour of work won't kill you unless you are very ill already, in which case you need to focus on your health instead and hire out the lawn work.

Heat index is 110 today. Yes, it's that hot.

Heat index is relatively meaningless to grass. It’s much hotter than the measured air temperature or heat index in the direct sun, which grass endures all summer. This isn’t remarkably hot for the DC area. It’d remarkable this is the first 95+ spell we’ve had all year really.

It's not meaningless to the person cutting the grass. FFS one hour of work could kill you when it's this hot. Get a clue. People die in the heat all the time.

I cut the grass on Sunday, it was hot but I was not in danger of death.

I’m pretty sure OP was asking about whether it’s too hot FOR THE GRASS to be cut, not too hot for OP?

I cut my grass at the highest level the mower will go up which is four and a half inches. I always cut it at 7:00PM in the summer months. Spring and fall in the late afternoon if the temperature is below 80 degrees.
