How do you deal with water condensation on the windows? (lemmy.world)

Now that the temperature outside has dropped, the windows start to accumulate water vapor. I am assuming that it might also lead to that black stuff forming. Is there a more efficient way of dealing with the condensate than wiping it dry every day?

A picture should explain this better. Middle of the pane is difficult to measure in Infrared, but a regular probe taped to it shows about 18°C right now, so just a bit below room temperature. I assumed this behaviour is normal, since all windows in my rental are like this. Note that this windows specifically has not been resealed at the movable part of the frame yet. However, as you can see, it's not the coldest point of the entire window either. Outside temperature was -3°C when the photo was taken.
