SUMMARY
Condensation can occur in still air when a cold surface is surrounded by room temperature air. The discussion highlights that still air is actually more conducive to condensation than moving air. This is exemplified by the operation of hair dryers and hand dryers, which utilize heated air to prevent condensation by increasing air temperature around surfaces.
