Narrative:
While climbing through an altitude of approximately FL120; captain called my attention to a high oil temperature on the number 2 engine. When I first observed the temperature; it was in the yellow range. I cannot recall the exact temperature at the time I first observed. As I watched it; I can confirm that the temperature did reach 165; which was in the red range. After reducing power on the number 2 engine; the temperature returned to the yellow range. Captain and I discussed the plan of action and considered all influencing factors. One of the determining factors worth noting is that we had a line of scattered thunderstorms approximately 80 miles in front of us. As we prepared for an air return to [the departure airport]; the engine oil temperature remained in the yellow range. While briefing the return; we discussed that we would be landing over weight. On final approach; the number 2 temperature reduced into the green range; but remained higher than number 1. Just before touch down I observed a descent rate of 200 FPM. The landing was smooth and soft. We landed at a landing weight of approximately 81;000 lbs. We exited the runway and returned to the gate without incident.
