Why does morning dew seem to only soak things that are mostly ‘outdoors’?

826 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

I keep a motorcycle outdoors under a waterproof cover, but noticed that with morning dew the bike is still noticeablely wet on the inside of the cover.

Meanwhile a buddy has his bike in a plywood shed that is by no means air tight but has 4 walls and a roof, but no insulation or air handling fans/AC and he says dew is never an issue..what’s the difference?

In addition to the other answers that explain why the likelihood of dew may be less inside the shed, there is a good chance your buddy simply hasn’t noticed the condensation. Even in a much more air tight garage, under certain conditions I find water on my tools in the morning, and those are inside a toolbox as well.
