During the summer months or hurricain season in Florida (June thru November) I have to use the dryer. The humidity is so high that the clothes don't dry they sour really bad. And if you don't catch them before the rain every few hours, you're throwing them in the dryer anyway. So I am just going to save myself the aggravation and time during those months. Can't wait to open my windows and put the clothes on the line then when it cools down. The Florida weather is not really my cup of tea. I think I would rather live elsewhere.
