where does water vapour go in a house in summertime?

Former Community Member

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?

    Thank you for your explanation that the air will be damp.

    Washing day next week I will dry them as before.

    The room has only ventilation under the entrance door which is minimum, so the next day, if the weather stays hot, I will remove the dry clothes as usual and switch on my dehumidifier which should then be able to extract the water from damp vapour in the room. The quantity of water extracted should prove interesting. I will report back the result.

    Thank you again for taking the time to answer my question.
