Recording a phenomenon

posted by [personal profile] crazyscot at 11:04pm on 22/11/2011
Hanging out laundry at 8am in the bright morning sun, it immediately began to steam rather violently. I guess it must be a corollary of the high relative humidity at that time (it was +11, dewpoint +9). I don't think I've ever noticed this before.

We get it quite often when I hang washing out in early mornings or in winter. In winter, the clothes don't get completely dry, but they lose enough moisture that they dry inside over one night rather than two. (They also smell nicer).

A regular winter sight is 'steam' rising from wooden fencing as frost sublimes in sunlight.

You can't look at laundry very often...

Mine does that all the time when the sun hits it at a good angle.

Not steam, water vapour.

It, ah, would be fair to say that I haven't hung laundry outside between moving into my flat in 2004 and getting here *blush* ...
