1. A dehumidification system for use in a vehicle, said system comprising:
- a thermally conductive member coupled to an outer skin of the vehicle; and
a duct at least partially circumscribing said thermally conductive member such that an air flow passage is defined between said duct and said thermally conductive member, said thermally conductive member configured to transmit a temperature of the outer skin to moisture-laden air channeled through said air flow passage.
