Default Overheating Issue at Idle

Anyone know what might be the cause of my HR over heating it's been fine while driving but if I stop for any period of time with the A/C on it starts heating the water temps up almost instantly.

I have an oil cooler kit that I will be installing this week but I don't know if that is going to help with water temps or not.

Its been getting in the high 90s here almost breaking 100s and its only going to get hotter.

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

I don't remember having this problem past summers.

Maybe the fans are going out? Only 69k on the odometer.

I'm going to try and figure it out today. If I had to replace the fans Ill probably go aftermarket and go ahead and get a radiator as well.

edit: I'm an idiot and was freaking out before checking the easy stuff. One of the radiator fan fuses is blown. Easy fix.
