a small tubular heater at back of bog will help
We have a dehumidifier on in the wet room 24/7, the condensate pipe exhausts into the shower drain . It costs about 50 p a day to keep the bungalow below 49 % relative humidity Wherever warm moist air comes into contact with a cold surface it will condense so getting the humidity down is essential.After been wrongly accused this morning of missing the pot during a night time visit to the toilet I realise that we have an unusually high amount if condensation on the close coupled toilet cistern so much that it is running dow and pooling on the floor. I've actually mopped it up 3 times. I know the warm day we having and damp air from the shower and coming in through the bathroom window is the cause and will correct itself soon but has anyone found an easy fix? Searching the internet I've found cutting up a yoga mat and gluing it into the cistern as well as expanding foam sanded back to do the same but much more messy.
This might sound obvious, but how much air inlet area does the room have from the interior of the house? We were getting a lot of condensation on the walls of a bathroom whenever we showered until I cut an extra 3/8" off the bottom of the bathroom door. What tipped me off was that I felt some resistance to shutting the door all the way when the fan was on, suggesting that it was drawing too much of a vacuum in the room. It made a big difference.We have vent fans with overrun, kept clean of dust bunnies.
you wont be reading the daily mail on that one more like using it to clean up after a curry nightOne of these is another option to omit the Cistern

As a bonus it will teach er indoors to not complain so much
My bungalow is a constant 65% humidity, according to my little temp gauge gadget. I don’t get any condensation on anything. Mind you, my heating is only set to 17° and that’s only usually on in the evening, unless it’s real cold out and I’m in during the day.We have a dehumidifier on in the wet room 24/7, the condensate pipe exhausts into the shower drain .

Heating humid air is also far more expensive than heating dry air .
I did that and also put a shop purchased free swinging cat flap in the door as the cat food & his litter tray is also in the wetroom to keep it away from the girt big dog we had .

Tip .. Squat pots ....Squat pot?
We don't have WC condensation as the house is a 3 pipe system...cold to appliances from tank, cold to potable taps direct and then hot. So any 'condensation' usually originates from me.
