yeh thats hot, are your cooling fans working?

It should take about 5 minutes of driving to get up to 90c, then it should never move from there.
 
Not sure which fan is it there a big one and a small one
 
big one has a viscous coupling and should run all the time, but the coupling locks up and spins the fan harder when its hot. The couplings wear out and can fail.

The little one is electric, and should come on if the AC is on, and also come on if the engine temperature exceeds 100c (which it was in your pic, as the guage wont move off 90 until about 105c)
