Default A/C Problem - Water Coming From Vents

I searched to see if I could find anything on this, but I couldnt, so if this is a repost, sorry

Anyway, I have an 07 Touring ZR and on very humid days when I run the A/C, I notice water forming around the vents on the vinyl. I read online that if you stop seeing the puddle of water under your car, and start seeing it on your vents, that a tube in your A/C system could be clogged. However, I still have a decent sized puddle under my car and im getting water on my vents as well.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is it just because of the humidity or is it a problem with my A/C?

Thanks.

If it's forming around the vents (where the cold air blows out), then it's condensation and that would be normal in a high humidity environment.

When you have a clogged drain, water will drip out of the A/C unit and run down on the floor by your feet. The thing to check is for the puddle under the car while it sits. That tells you if it's draining properly or not.

Not unusual.

95 degrees. 90 percent humidity. Condensation inside the car. Just keep an eye on the coolant level. Can you park the car with the windows open or partially open?
