Temp gauge & cooling fan behavior changes

Spent the weekend in Palm Springs, where it was 105-110F (40-43C) during the day and not much cooler at night. My temp gauge, until this trip, had mostly stayed pegged on "9 o'clock" once warmed up. In PS, in all that heat, it was fine on the highway but in stop and go wandered up close to the red regularly, and I got the ping and exclamation point a couple of times when it touched the red. In those cases, it dropped within a few seconds out of the red, and fell back into the 10 o'clock range.
Now I'm back in L.A. (temps in the 60s) but the temp gauge now seems to have become "unstuck" amd moves up and down between 9 and 10 o'clock quite freely depending on whether I'm climbing a hill or sitting at a stop light, for example. Is it more normal for the temp gauge to be limber and move a lot, or sit pegged on 9pm like mine did before? I think I'm hearing the fan come on more frequently, too, but not sure since I didn't really take much note of its ons and offs until now.
Cooling system didn't lose any measurable coolant on the trip and my hoses and water pump are all less than a month old.
Did I kill my thermostat? Other ideas?
