    Sounds like either your A/C drain is plugged or condensation is building up on the outside of the HVAC housing from high humidity.
    The drain is under the hood on the passenger side firewall just behind the wheel well, you should feel some air coming out with the blower on high if not it's likely clogged.

    I've had it happen after driving in heavy rain. Seems to be from the cabin air filter getting saturated.

    I've had that happen on a road trip through very humid weather, with lots of rain, and using the windshield washers to clean dead bugs off the windshield every hour or so while driving. It was only ever a couple of drops at a time. Looked to just be too much moisture build-up in and around the cabin air inlet area.

    There is a little channel that catches water and channels it away/over the cabin air intake.
    It either gets too much water and over flows, or it can get blocked.
    Mine got blocked by those things off of oak trees.

    I posted about my incident once before.
    Thankfully TW came through and saved me.
    Removed cowling and cleaned it out.

    These things were found in the channel.
