new issue...cooling system??

91 RX7 n/a 112k miles.
Ok sooo car starts and runs perfect for the first 5 minutes.....gets up to temp (middle of temp gauge) and about a minute or so later the temp gradually will rise....eventually go back to middle....and it will keep doing this. Majority of the time when I come to a red light it rises....when I begin to drive away it will go back. The cooling fan is blowing harder than ever and it is full of coolant. Idk when the last time the water pump or thermo was changed on this car. To be quite honest they are probably original. What is common on these cars to cause this issue??
