Could be caused by humidity. If inside house is cool and outside is hot and humid, when you open the doors the hot humid air rushes in. This humid air can cause condensation on the colder surfaces inside the house until temps equalize. Not good.

Suggest turning off ac and let temp inside home rise before leaving doors open.

Hope this helps
