I don't think the coolant can get that high, no, even with 50/50 glycol or whatever mixed in it. Above boiling, yes, 220F maybe, but not that far. If you measured 240 F you measure a steam pocket.

For coolant temp you're needing another gauge, maybe software, talking to your car while you are driving to get live readings. If you are referencing the gauge in your picture, that's the oil temp.
