    same as vice versa - water vapor in the warm air cooling and becoming liquid as it contacts the cold windscreen where the ac inside the car has cooled the windscreen - you’ll see this too when you take a shower (hot air + cold mirror)

    if your AC has too much water vapor or you have dampness inside the car (sweat, water, damp clothing) it can exacerbate it

      So you mean water condensing on the outside of the car?

      First I dunno what the AC or humidity inside the car has to do with that. Second, I dunno about yours but my car has windscreen wipers that will clear water off the outside of the windscreen. Third, any car is being heated by its occupants, drivetrain and air resistance, so the circumstances in which it is colder than the surrounding air by more than a tiny amount are virtually non-existent.
