Default Temperature gauge creeping past 90

Whilst sitting in traffic coming back from church on Sunday I noticed the temperature gauge creep past 90 and settled at around 95 for quite some time before moving up to 100.

Is this normal? I've never seen this before as it's always been stuck on 90, but Sunday was ridiculously hot in London.....and I had the air conditioning on if that makes a difference?

A genuine thermostat was put on about 9 months ago along with timing belt etc etc, so that is probably OK.

The coolant was flushed and replaced the same time as the timing belt so that's ok too. Could the rad need replacing? The fan was also kicking in, but what temperature should it activate?

Do you think this is an issue or just the effect of the searing heat we're getting? Maybe some of you guys have the same with your 8's
