    Clothes were hung up in the late afternoon. Fast-moving storms came in after dark. Things that were polyester or nylon were dry before the storms came in, cotton and cotton blends were not.

    I should add - the place where we hang laundry is under cover, so there’s no direct sunlight (plus, we live in a fully wooded area). But even covered, the change in ambient humidity was enough to prevent drying.
