Answer 11

I'm not sure where some of these people live, but the air is much drier in the colder weather. It has to do with the temperature. The warmer the temperature the more moisture the air will hold. If your house is 65 degrees in the winter it will hold less water and evaporation will be slower. If your house is 75 degrees the air will hold more water and the moisture will evaporate quicker.
