And oil temp is at 206...if it matters

Hi all, I recently became the 2nd owner in the family of a '12 Journey SXT with the pentastar V6 with only 40k miles on it...good enough deal despite my ill-opinion of anything Chrysler. I've noticed that when the A/C is on or the engine gets to about 194° that the fans start cycling, perfectly normal but they come on for 2-3 seconds then back off for about 30 seconds, over and over. Is this normal on Journeys? Seems way too short and the temp keeps climbing (now at 226° in the time it took to sign up on the forum and type this). After waiting 3-4 mins it seems to be holding at 226 with AC running, 70 degrees outside. Thanks in advance!
