Engine temp vs tranny temp

Bare with me, new to diesel. So I've read on most posts that tranny temp rises faster than engine temp. For me, it's the opposite. Although, engine temp never goes past 1/2 the stock gauge. Tran temp will catch up and be right at the middle as well on stock gauge. I live in south Texas, about 100+ deg weather if that has anything to do with it. Is this norm? Assuming so considering nothing is getting overheated. Just thought I'd ask. Thanks!
