Temperature fluctuations when driving around town

Temperature fluctuations when driving around town
Recently I have replaced a bunch of parts in my 02 Disco 2 (~95K miles), including water pump, radiator, Genuine grey 180 t stat, and coolant hoses. Re-tightened all hose clamps (worm gear on the big ones) and so far cannot see any leaks. When I was driving around town today (ambient temp approximately 10 degrees Fahrenheit) my temps would fluctuate between 194 and as high as 203. However I have seen that people with a similar setup will have temps sometimes lower than 190. I figure that this may become a bit of an issue when the ambient temps get warmer in Spring and Summer.
I have bled the system god knows how many times and I have no waterfall noise. I played with the viscous fan today immediately after turning off the car and after giving it a hard push, it turned maybe 1/5 to 1/4 of the way around. I pressure tested and did the exhaust gas test last August and did not detect anything.
Any ideas if this is normal, or what I should be looking for? Thanks...
