110 here in Tucson the other day. Ran the A/C and after the Jeep cooled down, I had to turn the A/C down to low. Aim the vents properly and there is no problem. Ice cold A/C here.

Same here I am in Phoenix once the Jeep is cooled down the AC works fine, and that goes for any vehicle here in the Phoenix or Tucson area.

Also, for those who think their AC is on the weak side be sure to put the AC in the recirculate mode. I've noticed some difference there.

103 in Woodland Hills the other day...but no complaints with my A/C...oh yeah, and a Double Gulp of Dr. Pepper helps, as well.

OK I was in Wyoming/Colorado/South Dakota and it did not cool as much as it did at home. I'm thinking it has something to do with how humid the air is.
Once we hit Eastern South Dakota it got much cooler and we had to turn it off after we turned north east on 60 from Worthington Minnesota.
If there isn't enough moisture to remove from the air it can't do it's job. Today we went to my sons baseball game and it was great. (They won the championship 7-2)

Took some bubble wrap heat shield, foil on both sides, and taped it to the rear roll bar just behind the rear seats. Made a noticable difference in cabin temp. I think I could have used anything that would just reduce the cabin volume it didn't have to heat shield material.
