If the glass of water is cold enough compared to the air temperature, it may cool the air immediately adjacent to the glass and bring it's relative humidity to or above 100%. Then the moisture in the air will condense on the glass, forming visible water droplets. This is less likely to happen in, for example, a desert, where the amount of moisture in the air is very low, than it is in, for example, a tropical environment, where the relative humidity is already high.
