Dealing with foggy car windshields in humid weather.
Temperature differences between the inside and outside of the car, along with high humidity, can cause car windows to fog up. Here are some simple and quick ways to fix this problem.
Lowering the car windows helps regulate the temperature.

Lowering the windows is the simplest and most fuel-efficient way to balance the temperature inside and outside the car, preventing condensation. If it's not raining and not too cold, you can lower the windows about 10 cm. If you're driving in the rain, you can lower the windows just enough to create a small gap of about 3 cm, or choose another solution.
Turn on the fan in external air intake mode.

Turning on the fan and setting it to outside air intake also helps balance the temperature inside and outside the car, preventing condensation on the windows. This method should be used when the windows are just starting to fog up, or before condensation forms on the windshield or rear window.
Use the air conditioning system.

Choose the air conditioning system's windshield airflow setting, and adjust the fan speed and temperature appropriately, because if it's too cold, condensation can easily form on the outside of the windshield.
Do not use the air conditioner on a hot setting to dry the condensation on the windshield, as the condensation is caused by the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle.
Glass drying system

Front and rear window defrosters are a common feature on many modern vehicles. The buttons for the front and rear windshield defrosters are usually located on the center console, near the air conditioning system, with distinct symbols, and an indicator light will illuminate when activated.
Automatic windshield drying system

Typically, in vehicles with automatic climate control, the defroster will automatically turn on and off after a certain period of time. If the defroster doesn't turn off automatically, users can disable this function after the windshield is clear of condensation to optimize fuel consumption and the air conditioning system.
