You can dry your onions in private. I personally am drying onions in boxes on greenhouse shelves and on wire racks in our conservatory. I would say they need some sun exposure really to dry quickly but so long as they are out of wet/damp conditions and are up off a floor they should dry out.
Enjoy getting your onions outside!

My shed (and garage) are too damp to store onions in: I now keep them in the gh or the house

ventilation is really important in the drying process. Even if the storage area is really dry, movement of air is needed otherwise there is a real danger of fungal diseases causing the onions to rot in storage
