Narrative:

On initial climb out of ZZZ; we received an ECAM indication for green hydraulic system overheat; along with associated ECAM warnings pertaining to the malfunction. After consulting the QRH; we decided to give the system time to cool off during the climb out; and we continued to monitor the situation to the best of our ability (although there is no cockpit indication of the green system temperature). After reaching our cruise altitude (FL330); and waiting 10 more minutes at that colder temperature; we still had no indication that the system temperature had gone down (the light remained illuminated). We then decided that it would be unwise to continue for 3 more hours under these conditions; and decided to divert the flight to ZZZ1. The light subsequently extinguished as we commenced the approach to ZZZ1; so we reset the affected system switches per ECAM and QRH guidance; and continued to an uneventful approach and landing. Due to our heavy gross weight and the high density altitude of the ZZZ1 airport; moderate braking was required to slow the airplane on landing roll; and one of the tires deflated due to fuse plug meltdown. All maintenance situations were then addressed by the ZZZ1 maintenance personnel.
