On most vehicles these days, thermostats don't begin to open until around 85'C, and fans cut in around 100-105'C. This is why systems are pressurised to prevent the coolant from boiling at normal 100'C. 120'C is about maximum temp.

As Tom say's Raj, you are normal, your engine fan cuts in at 85c, the other two on the front come in at 100-105 its fine for this weather.
