Water overflow

After standing overnight, I noticed water on the garage floor in the area where the aircon condensate usually shows, more than I am accustomed to. It's a 1997 C200 manual.

There is no sign of water loss in the cooling system. The water seems to be coming from a small rubber overflow outlet above, on the right-hand side of the gearbox towards the back. Would that be where the aircon condensate is expelled? And if so, why the apparent increase in volume?

Higher the level of humidity, the more condensation is released. Completely normal, if it was coolant it would be green or red, clear its water!

Logical conclusion, thanks. It has been quite humid lately.
