What's the bet way to know how much water other than that?

So when I water tomatoes with a soaker hose I watch the weather. Weather man says it's gonna be dry I leave that ****er on for hours. Then I don't run it again for sometimes days depending on how hot it is.
If the weather man says chance of rain I adjust my irrigation accordingly.
But you damn sure want to leave it on long enough to saturate the soil and off long enough that the root stock chases the moisture DOWN.
This is super important.
