Condensation is a normal occurrence. That’s why you see water droplets on the outside of a cold glass that’s been left for a few minutes at room temperature. That’s moisture in the air building up on the surface as water droplets.
The same thing happens on your windows. When excess humidity or water vapor in the air comes into contact with the cold surface of the window glass, condensation or “sweating” occurs. For this to happen, there should be a notable difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures. Fortunately, this is not an uncommon occurrence. You can wipe down the window glass and frames so you can see clearly what’s outside your home, and let the remaining moisture evaporate on its own.
There are simple ways you can at least reduce water droplets from forming on either the inside or outside of your windows. Check out these tips and keep them in mind in case your windows are fogging up profusely.
