Is it true that condensation forms on a surface only when the surface temperature is at or below the dew point of the surrounding air?
Yes. A reference article on dew point states that when air is cooled below the dew point, water vapor condenses on a colder surface as dew, and a fruit-storage study and a building-humidity paper likewise report condensation when surface temperature falls below the dew point.
