Excessive water out of firewall drain tube?

Just had 60k service done. Noticed today that there was a decent size puddle under the car. It's coming from the drain plug in the firewall. It's water, not coolant, at least it doesn't taste or smell like coolant. Nothing inside the cabin. I've never really paid attention to this before. How much is normal on a hot day? Or is this something I need to be concerned about? Thanks!

It's from the a/c in the HVAC. was it humid outside? When air gets cooled when its hot and humid on a vehicle, usually there is a large puddle underneath the car from the a/c, so yes is normal.

It was warm today, at least warmer than I'm used to. I'm in SoCal visiting family. It's certainly not San Francisco weather that I normally experience. I'll keep an eye on it. Just wasn't sure how much is normal.

Water will drain from there when you use the AC. Perfectly normal.

Normal condition of the A/C system.
