Condensation Plastic Corrugated Roof?

Frank99

Had a plastic shed roof with lots of gaps giving ventilation on a small shed, changed the plastic roof 3 years ago and noticed for the first time ever condensation droplets hanging from the inside of the roof panels.

It has not really caused any problems or dripped down to the floor much but as it is a very draughty shed i wonder if this has anything to do with the foggy weather lately. It only happened after a thick foggy day on Thursday. 

Is this just a weather thing like how you can sometimes get attic damp in the winter?

Yup. Entirely weather dependent. It is cold this time of year, so condensation will form on any surface. And with it being misty/foggy, there is a lot of moisture in the air.

Come the summer, it will be like an oven in the shed with temperatures up in the 40s.

Thanks FreeBear, was hoping this was the case.

We are close to 100% humidity here. So any surface that is marginally colder than the air will be dripping with moisture.
