Definitely not normal. How's the airflow to your radiator - anything blocking it such as a number plate?

If not, I'm wondering if your cooling system has a blockage, or if the coolant needs changing.

Based on that, I'd be inclined to think it's either your radiator or water pump. My money's on the rad having a partial blockage.
