Default 1994 Honda Accord LX running hot but not overheating

Hi i recently picked up a honda accord lx, from an old lady, its really clean i can eat of the seats clean, inside and outside, and was well maintained but the lady hadnt drove it in a year due to her illness, anywho....NOW i think the car might be running a bit hotter than it should be, above is a pic the red line is how the car gets when its idling for 3 or more mins but never goes over the middle line just sits right under it, and the orange line is where the temp sits when the car is running at all times, any car has had a recent tune up and still the same any suggestions would be awesome thanks ! ��

When it gets to that "middle" mark, are BOTH fans on the rad coming on?

Ok sorry for the late reply finally got on to check this busy at work, SO i did the a/c on test to see if both fans turned on and only the the passenger side fan cuts on, the driver side fan has never cut on, i let the car idle and the passenger fan kicks on when the needle start getting even with the halfway marker on the temp gauge, and NOW the a/c switch inside doesnt cut on no light, no nothing

Buy a set of test leads and apply power straight from the battery to the fan connector of the fan not working. See if the fan turns on. If not, replace the fan.
