It's kinda weird to be honest,I live in a country where it's almost 32c 80% humidity where the air feels incredibly warm and sticky and suffocating even when u just took a bathe 5 mins ago but I have never witnessed condensation form on the surface like that in my life....unless it's cold and if it's cold inside like air conditioned place it wouldn't form like that either.....condensation forms on the outside, the only situation that droplets can form like that is if there is no air flow, and ur taking a hot steamy shower or it's a gd sauna or something..... But the whole thing boggles my mind.....first of all wood or concrete surfaces don't sweat or form condensation like that,and if it's that warm and humid out there,stay in ur concrete apartment room and shut the windows and make sure ur windows are dark and tinted or draw the curtains from morning till night,it will keep the hot humid air out and trust me ur room will be much more comfortably cooler and dark than outside. At night wait till it's like 11pm or 12 midnight when it's finally somewhat "cooler" then open the windows.....at 8pm the air still feels like a sauna outside..... Or just get a air con or air dehumidifier,I dunno what these folks are doing. The only reason it forms droplets like that my guess is these guys are in some wacky place In the desert in china or something,where at night the temperature falls by 10c at night and is extremely cold and it "rains" indoors. Otherwise keep the windows shut all day and stay indoors u will be fine.

At 100% humidity the slightest temperature difference (the inside being cooler than the outside) will lead to condensation forming, due to the inability of the air to hold water.

It is also relative humidity, not absolute. Warm air can hold more water than cold air. So 100% humidity at 35C will have a lot more water in the air than 100% humidity at 5C so there will naturally be more condensation forming.

[@ApplePotato]

What people have to understand is humidity is relative. I also live in a place where the relative humidity is high, but the temperature is low. 100% humidity at 30C is lot more water in the air than 100% humidity at 5C. 100% humidity at 5C is actually super dry. What is happening here is the inside the house is slightly cooler than outside. Someone opens the windows or balcony doors, hot humid air rushes in. The slight drop in temperature squeezes all the water out. Hot air can hold more moisture than cold air.

[@mythirduniquehandle]

This is a great answer, people forget that it's RELATIVE humidity. and that yes hot air can hold a lot more water in it than cold. So 100% humidity (air can't hold any more water) at high temps, that's a lot more water being released on everything and tiny temperature changes can make for big bad results. Close all the windows and buy a dehumidifier.

You cannot have relative humidity beyond 100%, it's called dew point where the water must then condensate into dew. Probably the absolute humidity in your case was never very high to begin with. In the Chinese case the wind coming in from the seas at higher temperature (that can carry more humidity) settles into a place with the temperature drops significantly (like from 30 to 10), condensating the water molecules very quickly.

Not common everywhere. It needs a change in temperature (either the AC or the outside) Maybe they have air conditioning, so there walls are cold, but they had a window or door open or a leak in the AC. So the humidity from the hot outside got in and quickly cooled and condensed when it touched a cold wall. Or they had the AC shut off (more water held in hot air) and they later turned it on for the night (the water had to condense now that the air is cold) Works exactly like morning dew you’d see outdoors or on foggy days or your shower mirror

Eventually bad for organic materials like used in wood-framed construction, and will lead to slow water damage with mold, but doesn't really affect concrete/steel construction beyond promoting mold.

[@Cosinegl]

@@Demoralized88 Wouldn't air conditioning make it worse? It will create more cold surfaces that will cool down moist air, so that air will not be able to hold that much water. I think the only way to avoid this is to completely isolate a room and dehumidify all incoming air.

[@Demoralized88]

@@CosineglProper working AC for a given envelope (indoor space, basically) makes condensation like this impossible. AC is a dehumidifier by design as much if not more than just cooling the air. The AC Evap Coil inside a furnace or air handler in Central air greatly lower humidity by the water condensing on it, and falling into the drip pan where drains out of the house. By circulating the air throughout the house, it's able to dehumidify the whole building. Put simply, this isn't possible with properly installed AC, because it's intended to prevent scenarios exactly like this. Your assumption would be correct if AC didn't also dehumidify and only lowered temps, but I and many people seem to not know that AC also dehumidifies by default unless broken. Additional indoor dehumidifiers work the exact same way to condense ambient water through a cold radiator and are only different in that they don't also cool. Last thing, AC removes so much moisture that there's very little relative to humid air outdoors and, for anywhere near the same condensation on surfaces, they would need to be much colder. The kind of water in the air needed for a video like this would 100% need to be very warm and very high relative humidity, which makes me positive it's completely unconditioned and probably open to the outdoors. There's a huge difference in water capacity vs hot outdoor air and cooler indoor air at the same relative humidity (which makes it confusing) and will require far less colder surfaces to condense as you seem to know.

Same in ireland. Its always between 80 to 100

[@CensoredUsername_]

Yep. It's not the complete picture. Fog outside also means it's 100% relative humidity. But normally, this occurs when it is colder outside than inside. Air can hold more moisture when it's warm, so during the day, the air heats up and absorbs more moisture. During the night, the air cools down and 100% humidity is reached. However, when you take in that 100% humid air from outside and heat it up the humidity drops again. So this isn't a problem when outside it is colder than inside. When the inside temperature is colder than outside, and outside 100% humidity is reached, that's when you get this kind of insanity. The moisture in the air will condense at any surface it touches inside. So they must've had hot, humid air move in quickly from elsewhere, while the buildings were still cold.
