It's been ~100 around Austin for a while now, so its definitely battling some major outside temps (not Dubai-level, but still darned hot).

The story changes significantly if I have to turn on the rear vents and/or open the passenger vents. It doesn't seem to be a temperature issue, but it being able to get the air to my body. Also, when those passenger vents are open, it feels like the passenger is getting more air. What's up with that??!
I was having The rear a/c On it was horrible in DFW, I turned off The rear seats, now much better but takes forever to cool down, a/c makes a lot of noise too
