I think ~180-190's are a decent operating temp at cruise. Just looks like idling/stopped are where you are heating up. Most likely because the fans cant pull enough air in. But a few things:
What kind of radiator do you have?
Did you put the jiggle valve at the top? Also why use s sentra thermostat? Get a stock one.
May want to adjust your coolant ratio for less green coolant since you don't live in the north.
This is assuming that you don't have any head gasket leaks into the coolant passages.

I'm not sure what a jiggle valve is, however i have the electric thermostatic switch with probe, the probe is atop of radiator. Im sure i font have an head gasket issue the motor is built and dyno'd and has maybe 10 to 30 miles max on the motor. No oil or coolant mixed at all i tsn into that with last motor due to head bolts being loose.
Im running a koyo aluminum radiator, isr fan shroud with dual fans.
Only reason i got the sentra thermostat was because i didnt know the ka and sr was the same i just found that out now and the thermostat was installed last year. The sentra thermostat opens at 180F factory opens at 169F i bought an isr but realize it opens too early as 140F.
