If one performs wudu' in a place with air currents, and a limb dries before he reaches the next one, does he break the continuity?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the criterion for continuity the length of the time, or the drying of the limb? Because one might perform wudu' in a place with air currents, and the limb might dry before he reaches the next one? The jurists have stated this explicitly, saying that continuity means not delaying the washing of a limb until the one before it dries in moderate weather.

Answer:
In moderate weather. However, if his limb dries due to an external factor, it does not harm. But if his limb dries due to a long delay while the weather is moderate, that is what breaks the order. Yes.
