Car Engine Temperature - overheating?

The top radiator hose is very hot which must mean the water pump is working and flowing around the engine. The radiator is topped up with 50/50 coolant and expansion tank is full.
What else would you suggest checking? Blocked radiator? Flush radiator? Thermostat? Although the coolant wouldn't flow around the top hose if the thermostat was broken, right?
All suggestions are appreciated.

The bottom hose is much cooler than the top hose, but isn't this how it's supposed to be? I thought the hot coolant came from the engine through the top hose, cools down in the radiator and then the cooler coolant pumped back into the engine via the bottom hose. Thanks

Note that mine only works in US Gallons or Litres if you are using it to watch the fuel tank. I dont bother with this function.
