Well sure, because the difference between air temp and hardware temp isn’t as great. So it has to move more air to achieve the same cooling.
But it’s still cooling. If your room is usually, say, 20°C, and it’s now 25°C, while that’s hot for us it is still a LOT cooler than the, I dunno, 60°C your CPU is running at.
If your room is hot enough that the CPU cannot cool, you probably wouldn’t want to be in the room, since your body needs to regulate your temperature significantly lower than the CPU (≈37°C or 98.6°F).
