Default optimum running temp?

last two days the outdoor temp has been about 90..

my car has a 195 stat. while driving, the temp stays at about 195 or so, but if i have to sit at a light for any length of time, the temp starts rising.. last night it went to about 225 (but when i parked it the guage went past 240), and this morning it went up to about 215...


it only started doing this the last two days... so, just curious what is a safe max temp?


should i consider replacing the fan?? if so, with what?

radiator, stat, water pump are all new, and i checked the coolant level this morning ..

thx
