Even under extreme conditions the temperature gauge should not go beyond the 220 mark. Have you checked your cooling fan operation?

Over the last couple of days though, I've driven the car quite a bit in the middle of the day. The air conditioning isn't working, so of course I'm hot, but the car has been running hot as well. Usually, the temp gauge sits somewhere between the 220 mark, and the tick mark below it (160). In the sun though, the temperature goes just a little above 220, and today got half way between 220 and the next higher tick (240). Christian [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
