Drying laundry when it's always raining

[YellowHpok]

Really trying to reduce my electricity bill and cut down on tumble dryer use. We do about 5 loads per week, but so far this week I've only managed to get one load fully dry on the line as its always raining.

How do other people manage it? I feel like I'm constantly watching the sky or my weather app. Loathe to air dry indoors due to damp risk.

Pass. I don't have the actual cover but I always have a sheet over it. I hang over the bars and then move stuff about, lie some stuff flat etc
It's the Lakeland one. I mean it helps but I don't find it as fast as a dehumidifier

You clearly don't live somewhere where the roads have been turned to rivers for the past few days.

Spin twice after wash finishes, that will remove the bulk of the water in the clothes

Pulley maid hanging above the stairs on the landing so you just lean over bannister. Works well as heat rises. Overflow or woollens on a clothes horse in the bath. Windows open during drying time, with a cross-breeze to make air flow. No damp issues.

Line dry all year round. Check the weather forecast before doing a load. We do have an airer indoors and will hang on the curtain rails to finish off and in the winter, we also have a dehumidifier which helps.

It's rained here most days for the past week and have done 5 or so loads. I will leave washing out overnight, and I will grab in and hang on the airer in dribs and drabs so I grab in a few things just before making dinner, then after eating and put on the airer to finish off if needed. We do have a small section of line under a tree so is sheltered from most rain.

My main problem has always been underwear which I always put in the dryer as cba pegging every sock on the line and then off again. I've got one of those multi peg things again which will hopefully help in the winter. If it does rain I can just bring the whole lot in, in one go.

Towels always on the line. For me they don't feel properly clean when they've been in the dryer.
