What to Check Before Hanging Laundry Outside
Use the next few hours of weather and your load type to decide whether to hang your washing or wait.

A dry garden tells you what’s happening right now. A laundry decision also depends on how long you can leave the washing out and when you’ll be around to bring it in.
Check the hours you can use
Look at the forecast from the time you’ll hang the load until the time you’ll bring it in. If you’ll be away when showers are possible, either wait or use a sheltered drying spot. A forecast can change, so check again if the weather turns.
Match the load to the window
When you only have a short dry spell, start with a few lightweight pieces. Save thick towels, heavy cotton and items with bulky seams for a longer window. Bring the load in when the weather changes and finish any damp pieces on a rack with room for airflow.
