There's a series of logical assumptions and deductions regarding the
heating and cooling system that I can't always keep track of, but having
dealt with these problems on both an 87 and a 90 Accord, I would agree
with the other people here -- try replacing the thermostat. A faulty one
will make the rest of the system malfunction, and it's such a cheap
(~$15) and easily replaceable part (do-able by an unintimidated novice)
that it's worth a try. Sometimes they just go. Unusual-temperature air
from your vents could be another sign of this.

As other people have said, though, parts of the dash just tend to get
hot. When I had a tape deck, tapes would come out quite hot. But not
when the car first heated up.
