That's a great answer. The typical meteorologist would give you a four paragraph explanation that just leaves you more confused.

Another way to look at it. It's the temperature your cold glass needs to be to get condensation on it. That's why in the summer you get water on the outside of a cold drink, but not in the winter.

Does the content of the glass have any effect on the amount of condensation?

And an ice cold bottle of beer on a hot, humid summer night never lasts long enough to gather condensation either :-)
