95 in Switzerland. The Aerostar is parked out in the sun all day (at work) but the A/C works great when I go home in the evening.

Well, it got to 116F where I live today, and my house was still at 90F at midnight.
But I thought it would be a great opportunity to test my newly charged AC in my van. I got some results that I need help interpreting. At 115F ambient, my compressor was going non-stop, but I could not get less than 70F from the central register. When I turned on the rear air, the front temp crept up to 75F. If this is not normal, what could be the problem? I have been reading numbers like 30-40 from other folks here. Do you happen to know what your ambient temperatures were at the time?

6:30 a.m. in Anaheim and my air is on in the house. Been like this for weeks. I am going to hate to see my electric bill. Will be in the pool ALL DAY today. Damn pool water temp is 85 deg. f, can't cool down much but it helps.

It was a little cooler this morning, and I heard the AC cycling, but it only got to about 60F.
My house only got to 90F this afternoon. It's nearly midnight, and with all the fans running, I'm seeing 84F. If this keeps up, I'm going to have to install AC in the house.
