Now that the temperature outside has dropped, the windows start to accumulate water vapor. I am assuming that it might also lead to that black stuff forming. Is there a more efficient way of dealing with the condensate than wiping it dry every day?

Also, thanks for the detailed calculations. I never realized how that actually worked

Glad to help :)

I forgot to mention: Thats also why you get condensation on windows. The window is cold and cools the air near it. The air than can hold less humidity and it condensates on the window.

If you measure the temperature of the coldest spots on your windows you could even calculate how much humidity you can have in you flat at 20°C before water condensates there.
