the heat created by the air conditioners cooling the cars makes the tunnels ridiculously hot. that phenomenon is also why the city itself is so hot in the summer.
air conditioners put off a lot of heat.

You're in newer tunnels. The old IRT and BMT lines have a different liner material that allows heat to escape in the summer and retains heat in the winter. Any tunnels built after the 50's ( I think ) have a concrete liner.

because in the statins, there si no real productive way for heat to escape, which is why you sometimes see those big orange and white cones in the streets with the steam spewing out of them. The trains themselves, however, are air conditioned.

In most subways in the world the same effect happens.
They are warmer in winter...

logically heat air raises, apparently the subways are producing more heat than it could exit.
