Steamy windows part 2

I have managed to work out that the windows only steam up after it rains for a day or so when I have the fan on. After two days and in dry weather there is no problem. And if i have the fan off there is also no problem. Running the AC clears any steamy windows.
So I think water is entering the cabin through the fan and I probably don't have a problem with the heater matrix.
Any one any ideas how I can stop water from getting in or how to cure the problem?
Thanks.

There are the AC drain pipes that have a kind of valve at the end, they usualy get dirty and block the water.
Here is what i'm talking about

Thanks for the reply. I've already cleared those out. the matwells are also dry. so i'm sure its wet air being blown in.

Are the drain points clear around the Bulk head, There are two on there as well as the A/C ones. Also do oyu park on a hill or slope with teh car facing up it? If so water could be retained due to the upward slope if try parking the other way round.

Have a gander around and below the two main fuseboxes, that's where the drain holes are, they sometimes get clogged up with leaves and stuff.
