AC Dilemma

AC Dilemma
Hi All,
Lately I have observed that my car AC behaving weirdly, it goes like this. I drive every day to work that's 80 km away when the temperature is around 40+ degree C so naturally the car will take time to cool the cabin since its parked in direct sunlight.
Now as far as I can remember earlier when I used to drive for about 15 mins the AC would start to blow sufficient cool air and the cycle would keep going on cooling the car properly such that my fingers in front of the AC would freeze.
Currently the thing is that when driving for about 15-20 mins the AC blows normal air then blows cold air, this cycle keeps on going, so its blows cold air for about 1 mins or less then there is normal air [NOT hot air, the skin can feel the air is not cold and not hot either] for 30-45 sec and then cold air again and it keeps on going on like this, and the funny thing is that once I'm about to reach my destination just then the AC blows Extremely cool air with the latter cycle.
I have checked the AC refrigerant which is fine as per the garage but I have a doubt that the compressor is weak but since the engine temp remains steady, I don't know.
Any guesses.
Thank You
