Slipping fan belt. Blade missing off fan(engine should be idling or running very roughly). Fan fitted in reverse(rare but can happen). Timing too far advanced(possible). Water pump failing(I'd guess as it being the one. Stop engine, take keys out of ignition. Grab top and bottom of fan. Rock top to you and bottom away a couple of times. If it wobbles/feels loose, change water pump). No antifreeze/antiboil in radiator,or incorrect ratio of water to coolant-the above mentioned green stuff. All of the above.
