Default A/C question

Probably a simple answer for those that know anything about A/C but thats not me. lol

The problem is that the A/C wont blow cold air tell the vehicle is at operating temp.
Once at operating temp it's as cold as you can stand for as long as you can stand it.

Unfortunately its the wifes car and she cant take the (soon to be) mid summer heat waiting for the car to get at operating temp.

Not that it makes any difference, the vehicle is a 2010 Impala

Thanks for any help.

It's taking longer then the normal time frame to even blow some what cool air.
Most vehicles are blowing cool to cold by the time I get out of my driveway the Impala is blowing hot sometimes for several miles.
It just started this the end of last summer but I put off having it looked at.
My guess would be heeds a freon charge but thought I would see what others thought.

I'm not trying to be a smart **** here but I am 45 years old so I have been driving for a minute or two.

Thanks for replying when others haven't though.
