Radiator by front right bumper blowing really hot air

So standing by my front bumper earlier today while the car was idling and the hot air it was blowing was so hot that I had to move my feet... Feels hotter than the exhaust air! I know there's a radiator there, any idea why that's happening? Temperature gauges look totally normal... Between the 180 and the third mark

My seven letter word came up three characters short in order to comply with mandates effected by the seasoned moderators. You know... to keep out the riff raff.

Yeah... those radiators can blow some fairly hot air. Be careful!
