Well for me, I have absolutely no idea (in degrees C or F) what
temperature my engine should or should not run at.
I have always taken my guage markings to mean (N)ormal and (H)igh or
(H)ot. These make me happy because in regular driving (or even in HOT
weather but as long as I am moving) the needle sits around the (N)
marker. When I stop or am heavy traffic she will go up to half way
between (N) and (H). Of course after a bit of hard driving in hot
weather and with less attention to fluids than I should have, she will
go higher up the scale.
Generally I worry over that 75% mark... and generally I am proven
correct to worry (fluids down).
(N) is normal for me.
