Default Water dripping from exhaust

Went shopping tonight and after I loaded up the car, I sat idling outside the shop waiting for my wife to come out.

She noticed a small puddle of water at the back of the car and when I looked there was small amount of water dripping from the exhaust.

Is this just because the car wasn't hot enough or might I have another problem?

Could it be a culmination of warm air meeting cold air? Resulting in condensation from your exhaust.

Water is a by product of the emissions process (Cat converter etc), it is normal to get some out of the tail pipe. Keep an eye on your coolant level and temp gauge as a precaution though...
