Condensation on the outside of my windows

I get this on my new-ish patio doors.  I am straight out there with a rubber squeegee to wipe them down - clear & cleaned in one action, saves window washing.  A bit like washing my car on a rainy day - automatic rinsing!

If the is any dust or grit  that may be a good way to scratch it up, You need a good amount of water to wash it away first before a squeegee can touch it. I've certainly put plenty of scratches in windows before and had to wash again.

I've also seen a brand new van scratched to bits because it wasn't jet washed first to get rid of road sand and grit.

I can concur. I scratched a patio window at my previous property doing this.

Is it fault with my windows?

No the exact opposite. It just means the ‘air gap’ between your double glazing panes is doing what it is supposed to do: keeping the heat in and keeping the cold out. It occurs at this time of the year because of the high moisture content in the air which condenses on the cold outer panes of your windows.

I have the same issue as the op, however I get it in December to March. It's not everyday but I notice it around 5-10 times during that period.
The last few years I hardly use the central heating, about 1-2 hours a day to take the chill of the air. On the coldest days about 4 hours of im home all day.

So does that mean my windows are doing their job?

First real condensation on the inside this morning as it dipped to 6oC outside and inside was 19oC.

To be expected just wipe it off
