I've noticed over the past week down here on the panhandle of FL that the concrete floor in my sunroom is steadily accumulating moisture. We had some decent rain about a week ago, and since then it's been humid as with temps around 70. There is a small circle right in the center of the room with small beads of water, and the same thing around edge of the floor at the bottom of the exterior walls. The room is a concrete slab, painted by the previous owner and set about 10" below the bottom floor of the house. The walls of the sunroom are brick, about 3' high with windows going the rest of the way up to the ceiling. There are no visible cracks in the floor.
The house was built in '80, and I just installed gutters last month. I've noticed the water on the floor a couple of times, but it hasn't been this bad before (I just bought it in Sept). I don't know a lot about this sort of stuff, whether this could be fixed by simply sealing the concrete or if it is a symptom of something else requiring repair. Thanks for reading here's a pic if it helps:
