Yes.

You are probably making about 10-15% less whp thanks to the heat and high humidity -- less actual g/sec of usable air are being drawn in because of heat expansion and high water content.

Over sucessive runs, unless you are misting the IM, it will be even worse due to heat soak. Your air temps are probably well over 120* F.

Go back in the "winter" and you will be happier with your time.
