engine tempurature warning light?

I just purchased my 1997 2.5l boxster about 2 weeks ago. Has been running great. Has 109000km on it (approx. 68000mi). Today while cruising down the highway the temp. warning light started flashing even though the gauge only indicated 180 as it generally always does. What may have caused this? I let it cool for about 15 min. while I referenced the manual and checked the coolant level. Finished my travel of about an hour and a half with no further issues. The car also seems to have an issue of running hotter than normal, close to the 200 range during start stop travelling in town and during idling situations. Any info on what causes this? I just had all the fluids changed including the coolant as well as the plugs and the belt for the 100000km service.
New to the forums so any help or information is greatly appreciated.
