How to stop water from coming in my sliding glass doors??

When it rains hard, the water comes over the gutters and into my Florida room through the sliding glass doors. There is a rain spout right beside the end of the door where it comes in and that takes the water into my yard but it isn’t enough.

Are the gutters cleaned out regularly? That is where I would start. Also adding on a longer diverter may help somewhat.
My parents put in a drain just to the side of the sliders to help divert more water away from the doors. The patio off the spiders was under the deck and much lower than the surrounding landscape. They ran a pipe from under the drain to outside of the patio and also put another drain at about the center of the patio to catch more of the water and put it to the same pipe.
Sounds like you need a new gasket around your door.
Also have a gard put we’re the water comes in
I would add an extension to your downspout near the doors, they make many different kinds and even have them that roll back up when the rain stops. And make sure those gutters and downspouts are clean. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Frost-King-Automatic-Drain-Away-Downspout-Extender-System-DE46/202518593
