If it was sunny then why didn’t your clothes dry? Why did you leave them overnight?
That’s part of the point. You have to be able to time it, and you need time to hang it and then take it out.
Clothes were hung up in the late afternoon. Fast-moving storms came in after dark. Things that were polyester or nylon were dry before the storms came in, cotton and cotton blends were not.
I should add - the place where we hang laundry is under cover, so there’s no direct sunlight (plus, we live in a fully wooded area). But even covered, the change in ambient humidity was enough to prevent drying.
