That alone is a good sign. In traffic, there is reduced air flow, so an increase is normal. The electric auxiliary fan is supposed to engage to keep temps below 'red line.'

Remember, your engine is happy at 80-110C, which is quite hot to us humans. A LOT of hot air will pour out of the engine compartment, even on a cool day. We are just conditioned to get nervous at temps that are considered normal and expected for the engine.
Watch that gauge, but don't panic. If it rises and falls, the fan(s) are doing what they are supposed to do.
