180° and below is normal. Fluid temperatures over 190-200° causes premature failure of the shift solenoids as well as premature wear on the friction materials such as clutches, steels, bands, etc. 240-260° plus permanently damages the transmission fluid.

It all depends on where your sensor is too. If it's in the pan you are getting a readings that are way low. Ideal sensor location is in the output line to the cooler.
