How Weather Affects Drying Clothes

Several weather factors determine how quickly and effectively your clothes dry outdoors. Understanding these helps you pick the best time to do laundry.

Rain Risk

Even light rain re-wets partially dried clothes and causes musty odors. Our hourly forecast tracks rain probability so you can plan around dry windows.

Humidity

High humidity slows evaporation significantly. Below 55% is ideal, while above 70% can leave clothes feeling damp even after hours on the line.

Wind Speed

A steady breeze of 10-20 km/h can cut drying time significantly by increasing evaporation and air circulation around your clothes.

Temperature

Warmer air holds more moisture, speeding up evaporation. Temperatures above 25°C are ideal, but good wind and low humidity can compensate.
