Im a Ford tech not a Honda tech so the pressures Ford runs at idle may be a bit different than what Honda is running, with that said, to me it looks a little bit low on charge. Also make sure youre testing pressures with air in fresh air mode and doors open. AC systems require heat being intoduced in the evaperator and removed in the condensor to function properly and run good pressures. As others have said you'll need a shop to evacuate and check the total system charge to verify state of charge. With that being said, inadequate air flow across the evaporator will give similar symptoms and pressures to a low charge as youre not introducing heat to the system to keep pressures up. Thats something you can check at home, verify no clog in the cabin filter. If you can stick a boreascope camera down in inspect the evaporator. See if its dirty or gummed up. Past that Id look for leaks. Inject some dye in the low side and look for a leak here is a little kit for that if you cant find an issue of a leak or a airflow restriction on the evaperator I would bring it to a shop you trust. But this is stuff you can do first and maybe save a few bucks. Also just a heads up, the sniffer in that kit works okay, I have one. If you cant access the evaperator to check with it sometimes you can get a hit at the evap housing water drain. Just make sure you dont get water on it while testing.
