Evaporation and condensation rates are dependent on both the temperature and humidity of the airmass.
Warmer air can "hold" more moisture, and generally evaporation is faster, but compare south Texas to Nevada in summer - they can have the same temperature, but evaporation will be much greater in Nevada due to its dryness.
Condensation increases with *decreasing* temperatures, but if the airmass is already extremely dry, the amount of moisture that condenses will be minimal, obviously.

Rates of evaporation are effected by temperature, surface area and wind. Warmer temp, more evaporation. More water can be held in the air. Condensation occurs at the dew point as the temp goes down and meets the saturation point in the air.

the higher the temperature... the faster the evaporation... the faster the evaporation the condensation also increase... the lower the temperature takes time in evaporation and condensation...
