The faster the wind blows, the faster heat is transferred from

You haven't pegged them out on a line in January when its 1C then.
They freeze if its windy.

And of course at those thresholds it's a vicious circle. Increase the
wind speed and whilst that increases the amount of low level energy to
help the evaporation process, it also increases the evaporation
process that increases the chill factor (latent heat of vaporisation)
and in turn lowering the temperature in the water in the clothes.

So what we need is some way to heat some more heat energy into the
clothes to keep the temperature up and make them dry faster, even when
it's cold outside. ;-)
