It could be manythings:
clogged radiator- coolant flow or air thourgh it
low coolant level - straight anti freeze in the summer
thermostat stuck closed
fan clutch went bad
electric fan inop. faulty motor, blow fuse, relay or a short

an engine that is run lean would also run hot
having the a/c on in the summer, stuck in traffic will cause it to run higher than normal, but not dangerously
