Both inside and outside temperatures make a huge difference. See Coleman data below that “approximates” effect outside temperature makes. There’s other data for inside temperature. This isn’t that accurate so don’t take it as an exact correction.

Note also on 13,500 BTU/hour Power Saver data above that standard running Watts is 1,075 but that desert conditions is 1,320 Watts. Assuming same efficiency, power factor, and that voltage is reduced from 115 to 103.5 VAC per desert rating conditions, current would go from 10 Amps to over 13 Amps.
