I feel a constant heat coming from under my dash as well when I have the windows rolled down. But with the A/C on there's no problem. If you switch it to outside air you'll feel more heat flowing though as the car is moving. I guess it's just the heat from the engine and nothing more.

If you park it out in the sun, it's going to be hot.
