10 days out of warranty, that's so lame.

I've been driving my little 4 cycl Chevy Cav around without A/C. Yesterday in Quincy it was 95 but the humidity was something like 27%. It was actually fine, even sitting in traffic under the sun. Once the humidity gets higher it's brutal.

Check the AC clutch assembly. Sometimes a bearing goes in it, and you don't need to replace the compressor. Just did one in my truck.
good luck
