Answer 1

Wet clothes dry faster on a hot day rather than a cold day. Wet clothes dry faster on a dry day rather than a humid day (when there is a lot of water vapour in the air). Wet clothes dry faster on a windy day rather than a calm day. Water will dry out more quickly if it is put in a shallow dish rather than in a mug.

Answer 2

The atmospheric air is dry-means it contains lower amount of humidity per cubic meter than its saturated value. Thus, air is thirsty to absorb water vapor coming out of clothes. In monsoon, air is saturated in terms of its moisture content and therefore, evaporation is the minimum.

In summer, in general wind speed is higher and thus it helps in removing the moist air from the surface of clothes.

Higher is the temperature, higher will be the rate of evaporation.

In winter, the temperature is low, therefore, it lowers the rate of evaporation. But on the other hand, relative humidity is higher than in summer-thus air is not thirsty to absorb moisture evaporated from clothes. Moreover, winter winds are in general are weaker. This makes process of drying slower in winter.
