Recent heuristic computational findings of temperature increase of clustering degree in several, quite different saturated vapors are analyzed. A thermodynamic proof is presented, showing that this event should be rather common. Illustrations are primarily based on saturated steam and also on carbon vapor. Consequences for the atmosphere are discussed.
