Clogged radiator, trash covering the front of the radiator, thermostat stuck in the closed position, pulling too heavy of a load, excessive ambient temperature, low coolant level, frozen water in radiator (if coolant ratio is too dilute), loose serpentine belt, damaged water pump, etc.

Incorrect ignition timing can also be a factor.
