High temperatures and humidity in Pakistan can exacerbate A/C issues:

Overheating: Extreme heat can put stress on the A/C compressor and inverter, potentially leading to overheating.
Increased Wear: Prolonged use of A/C in hot weather can wear out components faster, especially if the system is not maintained properly.
Humidity and Mold: High humidity can lead to the growth of mold o r mildew inside the A/C system, which can affect air quality and performance.

Maintenance Tips:

Clean the cabin air filter more frequently in hot and humid climates.
Park in shaded areas to prevent the A/C from running under extreme temperatures.
Use A/C recharge kits periodically if refrigerant levels .
