Guys is there a way to add extra fan to reduce the temperature?

It reaches 130 F where I live and the other day, I was stuck in traffic and AC stopped working cuz of the temperature. Thankfully it worked once the car had cooled down little bit.
I had installed small fan for compressor in the front which helps with AC.

Temperature is working fine. Coolant topped off and fan works properly.
Just need extra one when to get stuck in traffic with this HEAT

Any suggestion?
 
Sounds like a thermostat issue or even symptoms of a head gasket. I have a GCC spec LC here in Saudi and it never does that and we go over 130F and take our cars into the desert.

sounds stupid... but have you ever washed / cleaned your radiator and ac coil the cooling fins can get very clogged and limit the air flowing through... sand/dust ect just like the cooling fins on your home a/c unit... you need as much air flow as you can get
