Why is there condensation on my skylight?

Condensation is usually more noticeable on skylights because warm, moist air rises to the ceiling. The problem, however, usually isn�t the skylight. It�s the excess moisture in the room. Condensation is more prevalent in new homes. After a few years, new homes tend to dry out and have fewer moisture problems. Eliminating excess moisture by using a dehumidifier and providing adequate ventilation and air circulation will go a long way in preventing condensation.
