Fans controlled by toggle switch, either on or off. Thermostat is 180 deg. It’s been blistering hot here in Tampa traffic. Alternator upgraded and under drive pulliesWhat is your t-stat, fan trigger temperature and temp sensor location?
Is that temperature with the fans running? If running, low or high speed?
I am assuming you are turning on high speed on the fans only. That would explain you 195 temp right now.
You original comment of being hot was probably due to some air in the system that has now worked it way out.
I have a 180 t-stat and on a cool day (60s or 70s outside), my car will stay around 180-185 on the highway all day long with the fans not coming on (they switch on low at 205, high at 215). On hotter days (80+) it will run up to fan turn on
Dump the under drive pullies. They cause more issues than they are worth. The alternator and water pump should not be under driven. If anything; you want a higher flowing water pump. I'm in Phoenix FYI. Out here; I run the Contour fans on high speed only. These cars are engineered to run over 200*. I regularly run 210* plus in traffic with ac on. Your t-stat should be a 192*-195*. The old school "180* is perfect" addage is just that; old school. Engineers discovered years ago that warmer coolant temps create more power.Fans controlled by toggle switch, either on or off. Thermostat is 180 deg. It’s been blistering hot here in Tampa traffic.

I was out there last year and helped my buddy install a Turbo 400 in his V8 Gremlin. That place hot freaking hotDump the under drive pullies. They cause more issues than they are worth.
