Lifting garlic and onions

[caroline7758]

Dr Hessayon says to lift these on a dry day. Is this just so you can leave them on the soil to dry or are they more likely to rot if they are lifted when wet? My garlic is definitely ready for lifting but don't think we're going to get a dry day for a while. Should I lift or leave?

ive lifted mine and i leave it hanging in the greenhouse near the open window to dry out and it lasts me months and months.
