Default Sensation of heat inside with air con ON

Every once in awhile, while driving around with the air con on, I get this sensation of warmth. The vents are blowing cold air, but still, there's this noticeable warm sensation my body detects that lasts a few seconds, maybe 2 seconds. It almost feels like the air con cuts out for those few seconds and starts blowing warm air. I know this isn't the case as the vents are blowing cold air... at least that's what I feel with my hand. The air con is NOT on auto. I can also seem to smell a bit of coolant for those few seconds but then it goes away almost as fast as it started... it's almost as if I imagined it. Want to add that there is no coolant smell in the car unless I sense this temp change. I've already checked around the interior but don't see any evidence of leaks. Very strange! Want to add that operational water temp on gauge is normal.

Anyone ever experience this heat sensation?
