Default Air Conditioner vent drips water

We live in Florida (hot, hot). Open concept, ranch house with air
conditioning ducts running through the attic. We have one duct in our
kitchen that has been dripping water on the floor. Any ideas on what we
should be looking for in terms of what's causing this?
Thanks in advance.

When was the filter changed last?

Clogged drain, or leaky pan.

Just replaced the filter and cleared the drain in the last couple
weeks. The system sits on the ground floor in a closet, venting running
through the attic and into the ceilings.
Thanks.

Inadequate insulation on the duct that is feeding that grill. If
you have insulation wrapped around the outside of pipe, I suspect
it has been torn or pulled loose.

DanG wins the trophy! Insulate that duct & seal & insulate area above
the register.
As others mentioned, change the filter(s); may need more airflow, too!
