On the inside of the window? (I'm guessing so since you said winter). Definitely too moist inside then. I've got a humidifier inside the home but I try not to let it get above 35% RH or so inside on the really cold days. Most likely if it's naturally that humid inside in the winter, you'll probably want to measure RH in the summer too, and either turn the A/C up or use a dehumidifier. Not just for rust but mold, health reasons, property damage, etc. Humidity can be a bitch.
You can also try a little vinegar to get some of the surface rust off but that can take patience sometimes.
