unusually warm drivers side footwell?

If you reach your hand down and to the right side near the center console, you can feel the hot air coming out. Whenever I drive with shorts, like tonight it actually gets uncomfortable. Anyone know why it does this?

I am AT. It happens whenever my car has been running for a good bit. I assume its just the transmission/exhaust. It is annoying, and it can sometime become unbearable. I hardly ever run heat or air, but looks like I may have to start turning some air on when it gets hot.
