AC doesn't work well when stopped

I have a 2009 Fit Sport. It has about 50k miles on it. For the past few years I've had problems during the summer when using the AC. I live in the Los Angeles area so it does get very hot during the summer. I noticed that when I'm stopped and not moving the AC doesn't blow air that cold. But when I start moving it blows much colder air. It's to the point that the car can barely be cooled at all when not moving. I have another car similar year and price range that doesn't have this issue at all so I was wondering if this is faulty or if this is a common problems with the Fit?

I've had the same experience with my GE8, which just last night ticked over to 50K miles. Last summer when it was very hot, the AC couldn't cool the car effectively when I was stopped or in slow moving traffic. But about about 30 MPH and at freeway speeds, it was fine. I think it's normal.
