The physics invoked above is actually well known from our everyday experience: in the right weather conditions, when the temperature drops, e.g., in the evening, an overcooled water vapor can often form fog; but after big water droplets are finally formed, they survive when the temperature increases (e.g., in the morning), and the fog rarely forms, we rather have dew drops instead.
