Somebody asked today why water evaporates when it’s not above boiling point, and the answer to that question and this one are the same. Not all particles have the same amount of energy, some have more than the average. Some of these even have enough energy to escape the liquid and evaporate. Over time the entire puddle can evaporate this way. This is also what happens on hot and sunny days, only then it happens quicker.
