Redirects all unnecessary power to help with acceleration. Hence warm air would come out of the system for a bit until things return to normal.
Been this way for years for pretty much all makes and models

Undocumented feature aka unspoken industry standard
I lived in Phoenix with 115F heat and then I visited Chicago when it was mid 90's and insane mid 60's Dew Point. I would rather take the 115F desert dry heat over 90's and very high dew points. I was drenched in sweat in Chicago and I could not cool off. It was horrible.
That’s okay. I’ve spent time in Manila, Singapore, KL and Bangkok. Stepping out from the air conditioned building into the midday heat is a shock, plus the instant sweat.
Doing some reading, most household air conditioners seem to have an outdoor dry bulb operational range of -9C to 46C (15.8F to 114.8F). Anything colder or warmer means the unit won't function as intended.
I presume some sort or temperature range also applies to car climate control (air conditioning) systems (uhm)

I’ve seen that as well. In some climates where the temps were very hot, I was happy to have the house at 80F with lower humidity when temp outside was above 100 with 70%+ humidity. Air movement was key as well.
I’d suppose a heavier unit would be the norm in those climates like in the Outback or Western Australia.
I enjoy my Western Washington State (US) temps. Not complaining with it now being summer and currently 69.3 F (20.72 C). That being said my '15 CX-5 AC works as well as my other cars from Toyota/Lexus and Infiniti/Nissan.

Today in Kansas City. No problems with the AC at all. Nice, cool ride home. And the Mazda was in the parking garage all day in the shade!

Indeed
What was the actual air temperature (uhm)
Which confirms my suspicions that the car reading is just for where the sensors are and not the actual/real air temperature

Yep, I don’t think the car readout is accurate but then again microclimates are everywhere.
No vehicle I have owned has ever had accurate temperature reading
Or heat being radiated from whatever is next to the vehicle be it another vehicle, building, object etc

How's your winter going? About in the middle of it now, eh?
