Laundry Drying Times For  Sheffield

Of course Metcheck don't dumb down the weather at all... But when we stumbled on a formula for drying clothes based on meteorological conditions we just had to create this.

Using the Penman equation and Dalton's Law we can tell you how long it will take your undies and towels to dry on the line in the garden. Sadly we can't tell you how long it will take to iron them but we are working on it...
