Why wet clothes dry slowly on a rainy day?

Answer 1

Things remain damp and wet, and take longer time to dry when the atmosphere around them is damp and wet. Humidity is the amount of moisture or water vapour present in air at any moment in time. On a humid day, the air is full of water vapour. As the air gets warmer, its capacity to hold the water vapour increases. As a result, conditions become more and more humid. Hence, wet clothes take longer time to dry on a humid day.

Answer 2

Because they get wet again.

Another reason is that even before it rains the air is often fairly humid, and so the higher the moisture content of an atmosphere, the more slowly water will evaporated.

Answer 3

Wet clothes dry by evapoarting water from them. The higher the temperature and the lower the humidity the faster they dry. On a rainy day, the humidity, or water content, even indoors, is high, so they dry slower

Answer 4

because there is no sun on the clothes and in order for it to dry it needs light and the clouds are covering the sun so most likely you need to put them in a more sunny area..good question,...

Answer 5

Relative humidity. Things stay damp when the atmosphere around them damp. If it's rainy, hang the clothes in your garage - frequently the warmest and driest part of the house.

Answer 6

Clothes dry more slowly on a rainy day because the water content of the air is higher. This means the water from the clothes takes longer to evaporate.

Answer 7

Because the rate of evaporation decrease with an increase in the moisture or humidity in air. This is why clothes take longer time to dry in winter.

Answer 8

Because
