Driving home today my temperature gauge started going up, went up halfway which is not normal. Very hot in Florida today, upper 90's. Any idea what the problem could be? I don't see any water leaking underneath and there is coolant in reservoir.

Good afternoon,

Make sure the coolant level is full.

It could be the thermostat that is failing.

It could also be the cooling fan as well.
