To soon to hang out the washing?

It's 10 degrees here today. Tiny bit of cloud due early afternoon but stays warm and bright until about 6pm. Is this good washing line conditions? Or do I risk the clothes coming back in smelling musty?
Ps. This is a seriously sad, stay at home mum post I know Wink

Put them out and see how they are after a few hours. If they haven’t dried much then bring them in.

I'm putting mine out!

Absolutely not. I’ve had mine out twice this week, got bedding totally dry on Thursday and other washing 90% dry yesterday, it just needed a couple of hours on an airer. We have a tumble drier but I love when I can stop using it as much!

Hahaha I was just thinking the same
Sick of drying in the house

Just put my line out this morning. Sunny but a little chilly, hoping it will warm up and dry the washing. I've dried two loads this week on the line so I'm optimistic!

Mine's out!
Second lot in the machine as we speak (write)

I checked the forecast earlier in the week and saved the washing to get it out on the line today. Blush

if the ground is dry I put out washing even in winter.

Mike's out, first time this year. I'm hopeful 😁!

KatherinaMinola · 25/03/2018 11:51

I've had mine out every day this week.

snozzlemaid · 25/03/2018 11:52

Mine goes out all year round if the sun is shining. Put it out.

If it's dry my washing always goes out. Even if it's only for a couple of hours it'll speed up the drying process when you bring it back in to finish off

Taytotots · 25/03/2018 12:05

Is there a breeze? If so that will dry it even if it's not warm.

ThaiRedCurry · 25/03/2018 15:15

I'll be holding you all responsible if my washing isn't as fresh as hoped once brought in Wink
