Temp gauges on 122s always seem to read a bit high, and they do creep up in traffic jams. I suspect airflow through the engine bay is fairly minimal, and the stock 4-blade fan isn't really adequate at low speeds in hot weather.

If it doesn't ever boil over, nothing is coming to harm. If it really does cause you problems, you might want to go with an electric fan instead of the belt-driven one.
