'12 Focus MK3 Titanium X Aircon taking a while to warm up,

Not sure when it's started but certainly noticeable in the colder weather, but my Aircon (dual zone) seems to be taking longer to warm up. Temp generally set to about 21-23deg. Blows cold fine and does eventually get to temperature, just nowhere near as the almost instant I was used to, maybe 20-30 seconds, even up to a minute.

Any ideas as to what might be the issue

Many thanks in advance.

    Not just the cold weather then?

    Doesn't seem to be, it took just as long to heat up from 0deg as it did today at 8deg and was nigh on instant last time it was at 0deg, as said, it gets there but not before I've had to go through the chill, first world problems yes, but since having the car, the only thing that seems to have a fault.
