Is my SL500 running too hot?

1996 SL500. Had some overheating issues and had my thermostat replaced at the dealers yesterday. Seems like it is running hotter than it did before this problem, but then again yesterday was 90+ degrees and I was in stop and go traffic.

So in stop and go traffic the car was running at about 100 degrees celsius, or the hash mark in between 80 and 120. If I put the AC on it would get above this, maybe 105. Once I hit the highway it would go down to a bit below 100, maybe 95. Is this high?

What is the normal operating temperature range of a SL500?

Thanks guys.
