When stationary for almost thirty minutes the engine temperature stays normal.
As soon as you put the air-condition on the temperature rises while stationary. But goes to normal while in motion.

Good afternoon,
From your description, it sounds like the fan clutch is not working. The added stress of the A/C may be causing it to overheat.
See if the fan clutch engages when the A/C is on and the engine is hot.
