Is this too hot?

Thanks!

These gauges are notoriously inaccurate.

But what it's indicating is about 1/8" to the right of where my gauge sits when my car is warmed up on a normal day.

For a 98 degree day, that looks pretty good to me.

(not an expert, just my opinion, hopefully others will chime in)...

That looks about right when compared with my car. I am in South Florida and our summers are now almost always in the mid to upper 90's. That plus our ever-increasing traffic causes my temp gauge to look like yours. If it were reading past the zero, I would start to be concerned.

Seems comparable to what I see with spirited driving on hot southern summer day.

Thank you for your feedback. I'll keep an eye on it...I wasn't really stepping on it so it concerned me a bit. Hoping for a cooler weather (there is such a thing as too hot for a convertible...)

That looks perfectly fine. No need to worry.

Thank you!
