probably warming up...if the temperature goes above the average level, then your radiator might be low on water and coolant or the cooling fan is not working..

Ford explorer Coolant temperature gauge fluctuation?

I just changed the thermostat (the old one was stuck open) on my 96' Explorer. The temperature gauge will fluctuate now, getting pretty hot then dropping kinda cold. It will stabilize after you drive for a while. There is so much coolant that I think this is a way to get it all warmed up? I'm not sure, I used to have a Honda. I do know that the Exploder is running better, getting better mileage- so everything seems to be fine.
