How hot does your S8 run?

Been meaning to ask for a few weeks. With recent temperatures regularly in the 30s I’ve noticed my coolant temperature hitting upto around 110 during ‘spirited’ drives. Poodling around in traffic the temps go back down to the normal 90 ish so I think water pump is functioning correctly. I did try testing the viscous fan clutch with the old newspaper method and I was able to stop it. Also haven’t heard the normal loud woosh from the fan at any point when they usually are engaged. Thoughts anyone?
