General Science / How should I align my laundry in the wind?

adrian asked the Naked Scientists:
Hi naked scientists,
As I'm living in the UK, I need to use the dry weather as cleverly as possible for drying my laundry.Â
If the wind blows from West to East, would it be better if I place the rope for the laundry from North to South, or it would be better to place it from West to East, so the wind could dissipate the water vapours from both sides of the clothes? So to place my laundry to oppose as much surface as possible to the wind (and the wind to force out the water from the inside of the material), or to be as aerodynamic as possible? Would this be different depending on the thickness of the material?
Many thanks,
AdrianÂ
