Suprsingly hanging baskets should be watered everyday, whatever the weather.

The surface of the baskets is so small, cosidering how many plants are in there, that very little rainfall gets through all the foliage, no matter how much it rains. Plus they need more water than plants in the ground because there's more evaporation.
