Narrative:
Right CSD oil temp rose to above red line; rise was above 20C during climb approximately 20 minutes after departure. Performed QRH procedure which led to APU start up and CSD disconnect. Returned to [departure airport] after considering extra fuel burn required for APU would burn into enroute weather deviation extra fuel. Seasonal storms enroute with deviations possible. No emergency declared; no overweight landing. Re-dispatched with extra MEL/cdl fuel and weather deviation fuel with maintenance deferral of right CSD/generator.
