    The garden will be in sunlight until 4pm.
    Here is today’s weather. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcpu1cq7w
    It feels damp outside and there’s no wind. Will the washing actually dry?
    What humidity levels ,wind combination should we be looking for as a cut off point for external /internal drying?
    I appreciate there is a strong IN / Out divide on this subject but let’s let science be the judge.

    Let the washing decide whether its ‘in’ or ‘out’

    why wouldn’t you?

    unless you’re in Germany, I think there are some local laws about hanging your washing out on a sunday

    We did some small stuff last night and it dried quite well in the kitchen.
    Today though we want to do our bedding. It looks great outside but if I hang it out and it doesn’t dry too well it will have to come back inside anyway.
    I could put it in the tumble drier but I’m not prepared to take the fiscal hit .

    Looking at the black clouds here, I think mine is about to go in the conservatory today.

    Edit 7 minutes later: It’s raining, I knew it would.

    I’m going to put it out.
    Let’s see how well an Australian based drying system works.

    Are you anywhere near the Siegfried Line

    Seriously though the more detail bit on that met office forecast you linked to gives humidity. Anything below 65 would be great for drying especially if there’s a breeze.

    If it’s not actually raining it goes out side.

    +1 Although on cold, windless winter days I don’t bother.
