Can cold weather cause moisture buildup in my MacBook Air?

When my Mac is cold and I hold it, I notice some moisture forming on the surface after a while. Could this also happen inside the Mac, possibly affecting the internal parts and causing damage ?

Moisture on a Mac:


A. Don't Use a Keyboard Cover:

Do you use a keyboard cover? If so, stop using it. Liquid will accumulate, and it's happened to me aways back --something I most-certainly learned from.


B. Use of a Dehumidifier:

If you use this in the very lower lever of your house (likely the basement), then condensation can most certain accumulate. So, consider using a dehumidifier, if that is where you use your Mac (and other devices).
