Default Hot A/C controls

Hey all was on a road trip, nice weather out, windows down no heat, a/c, or vent being used. As the day warmed up I closed the windows and turned the A/C on. The A/C control knob was warm to the touch but the indicator dial around it was HOT The knob for the airflow direction was warm and its indicator was way hot also. Uncomfortable hot. Stayed warm until after the next rest stop. Has anyone felt this before?

My wife was riding with me and went to turn down the AC and noticed the same thing. I touched it and it was HOT to the touch were I couldn't hold my finger on it for long. Since then I've never worried about it.
