I'm not British, but "Are you cool enough? Is the air conditioning reaching you?" would be fine.

Yes, the phrase is "air conditioning" not "air condition".

The simplest way is to ask "are you too hot in the back?"
"Are you cool enough in the back?"
"Would you like me to make it cooler in the back?"
"Would you like me to make it warmer in the back?" (but only in the UK!) ;-)
