Normal!!! That's the way it's designed. The engine driven fan clutch tightens at about 100C, but the fan doesn't draw much air at idle speed. At 105 of 110 the aux. electric pusher fan(s) mounted in front of the radiator engage at high speed.
In stop and go traffic the engine coolnat temp may actually be, on average, lower if the A/C is on because the A/C pressure switch will engage low fan speed periodically.
