That depends on the weather. Water if dry and stop watering when the bulbs are full this helps ripening off.

I would'nt bother, but then i rarley water anything except newly planted out stuff - the rest has to fend for its self..

[asbean]

If you put them in last autumn they should be fending for themselves now, and the tops should be falling over.  They need to dry out more than they need water.

I rarely water my onions at all.  They are usually hardy enough to fend for themselves.

I agree with Daveyw1, Onions are fairly shallow rooted so when growing need watering if soil around them is very dry.
