I would sure be careful about giving them water. I've just lost one and have damage on another where they turned to mush overnight. The rain and humidity combined with very warm temperatures is an unusual weather combination for me. Usually it's just the warm temperature without any rain and low humidity, but not this year! I've been checking them. The rain has stopped, but the humidity is staying high. I can only hope the pots dry up after receiving the rain. It's going to be a long time before the semps get any water from me. There will have to be obvious signs they are needing it before I give them any. They've already had more this spring than they usually get all year. The rain loving tropicals love it and look great, but the succulents make me nervous. Pots dry up fast, but beginning in May they really haven't had much chance to dry up. I tend to give them more water when the temps are on the cool sign and they clearly are actively growing. When it's very warm, they get to rest.
