I guess check your coolant level? Make sure you have enough and if so, just go for another drive see if it does the same? If so, could be the thermostat has gone

As above,if the thermostat has failed and won't open then the engine temp will go up quickly.

What I don't understand though is would you not get cold air blowing through as the coolant circulating through will be cold?
