Solution
Because the rate of evaporation is directly proportional to temperature, clothes dry faster on a warm day than on a cold, humid day.
Also, The amount of water molecules in the air is referred to as "humidity." The more humid the surrounding air is, the slower a wet object dries and vice versa.
Because of the existence of water vapour in the atmosphere, when we try to dry garments, the evaporation process is slow but effective due to the presence of water vapour in the air. That's why it takes longer to dry wet clothes in humid weather.
Thus, wet clothes dry faster on days of low humidity.
