Check whether droplets form on the room-facing glass or water enters around the frame; condensation and rain leaks need different fixes.
Read an indoor hygrometer. If windows repeatedly get wet during cold weather, reduce excessive moisture sources, including an overly high humidifier setting.
Run bathroom exhaust fans after showers and kitchen exhaust fans while cooking; confirm they vent outdoors.
Review activities that create vapor, such as indoor laundry drying or prolonged boiling; use brief ventilation where appropriate.
Wipe glass and frame moisture with a soft cloth and keep enough air circulation around curtains and nearby furniture.
If mold, water damage or leaks persist, investigate the source and seek professional assessment of window sealing and insulation.
