Might be a sign of a failing condenser. It gets by when outside air temp is lower, but when it gets hotter it struggles. The condenser sits in front of the radiator. They can suffer from blockages. You should also check cooling fan(s) are on and running when AC is on.

Clean condenser coil with garden hose and nozzle to remove dirt and bugs to get good air flow across condenser
