Will wall paint dry when it’s still wet outside?

It rained for a couple of days! It stopped but still very wet outside. If I paint my kitchen walls will it dry or should I wait for a warm, dry day?

Wait for warm day.
It will dry but it slows the process. You can compensate by turning up your heat and cracking a nearby window. If the inside temperature is warmer than outside, then the heat will whisk moisture to the exterior through the cracked window.
You could put a fan on it
And run a few portable fans on low if you have them.
Hi Jean. As long as the house isn't very humid you should be fine to paint in doors. Good Luck!
If you have portable fans that will help.
Fans are fabulous. Turn on either the heat or a/c and adjust the humidity. Paint away and it will dry nicely. I'm always on the 'safe side' and allow paint to dry longer than the can says. 😎
