Could be,or could the rad be past its best and struggling to cope although I would have thought you'd have had issues when the weather was hot rather than now.

Temp sender lose connection or the gauge is fubar.
senders fail very rarely, so go the obvious first. mt estate did the same thing last year and pinned it down to the gauge.
