Heat wave E420, 96 outside, 110 stop and go!

Damn this 97 E420 runs hot! In this heat wave when it's 96 outside, the E429 is fine on the highway running around 90 degrees. When I'm driving stop and go with the A/C on, the engine is registering an alarming 110 degrees! My aux fan is working and kicking in but this scares me as it's the wifey's main driving car and she doesn't look at the instruments like I do. She won't turn off the A/c at stops, recirculate the inside air, etc. What can I do? Is Water Wetter a good solution or is it just marketing hype?
