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.

Thanks for the reply. My car runs at the top of the normal line to full red. The car has never overheated, however I did put a direct reading gauge in the cylinder head and it reads between 180 to 200 when I check it, but have to open the hood to check it. I’m getting the impression that most of the gauges read the same. I’ve learned that each of these cars have a distinct personality!
