I am not a mechanic, but here are a couple of comments. Always use 50/50 mixture of antifreeze even in the summer. It is a rust inhibitor as well.
It also raises the boiling point of the solution. Cars run @ 180+ degrees normally. Have you checked the fan for proper operation? Not sure about your car, but many have a thermal clutch or may be an electric fan with a thermostatic control.
