Why is the supposedly best day to dry clothes, one which has a good amount of wind.

The mother always says “great drying in that day”. One in which the sun is out and there’s quite a lot of wind. These days are not hot mind you.
I think it’s natural to presume that the hotter the weather, the quicker clothes dry. Can anyone explain why the cooling wind actually aids in this? Thank you 😁✌️

If you had perfectly still air, the part near the cloth would just saturate with the first water to evaporate, then no more would leave. Wind blows the damp air away and replaces it with drier air that can take up more water.
