Erm, not sure if Im misunderstanding the question but with the ignition on it will be roughly whatever the ambient air temperature is, unless you've recently run the engine up! At idle the engine will continue to heat the water until the fan kicks in at around 100c, so there is no set level as such.

You only really get a fairly static situation when moving, generally it should settle somewhere around 70-80c on the road, but this will also usually vary a bit with ambient air temps.
