where does water vapour go in a house in summertime?

What happens to the vapour created by drying washing in an enclosed space? I live alone now and use my attic lounge facing south as a drying room. In winter I use a dehumidifier to extract about a couple of pints of water, However, in the hot weather the dehumidifier is not required, with the windows and door closed what happens to the water vapour?

    In warm weather, it will hang around in the air.  Warm air can hold more water than cold air.

    If the walls and windows are warm, condensation will be less of a problem, but the drying rate will be limited by how fast the air is changed in the room.  If it's too well sealed, then you will end up with a room full of warm damp air.
