I want to put down turf but my lawn looks like the sahara

I live in London and have dug up my small lawn and planned to put down turf last month but didn't get time.
I am planning to put down turf this wend (23 degrees!) but with the dry weather my clay ish soil has gone rock hard on the top.
Do I water it or turn it over again or just give up until the weather cools down?
Any advice appreciated.

I would rake it and firm it down again by treading. There are videos on the internet demonstrating if you've not done it before.
