In my experience the fluid temp gauges in my '35 and '36 fluctuate during operating conditions and I have had to estimate from their feedback what the actual situation is.

Driving in various conditions will educate you to the likelyness of boil over.

This picture was snapped after coming off a very warm August interstate run, even if we were in Maine. 480 miles in a couple of days. I'd just shut it off and the temp was climbing as we sat.

You'll know when it boils over, until then it doesn't tell you an actual temperauture.
