Why is the condensation in bathroom so bad it causes puddles?

Hi, so for a while now I've started to notice puddles forming in the bathroom floor coming from the back wall where the toilet is. I don't think it's a leak, though the condensation appears really severe in this area. The copper pipe that runs along the same back wall is always really wet and I can see large droplets formulating. I have little long boxes underneath and they fill with water. Also the toilet cistern that is against the wall gets very wet on the outside and I notice lots of water forming on the toilet rim below it.

I dry up the watery puddles, but they seem to come back not long after. Can anyone think of an explanation as to why this condensation might be so bad? Also what can I do to prevent it? The heating is always on, but usually the window is open in the bathroom.

It’s one of them winter cold water eg around 5dc coming into a warm / hot steamy bathroom

You could try cutting and sticking a yoga mat internally to the cistern eg try and insulate the cistern
