Narrative:
Climbing out above 10;000 ft we got an ECAM warning of green hydraulic overheat. Procedures directed us to shut down the green system with the loss of the associated systems. We contacted dispatch via radio and; after consultation; decided to return to ZZZ after burning off fuel to prevent overweight landing. Winds were strong and gusty in ZZZ. Flight attendants and passengers briefed of sit and the need to return to ZZZ as a precaution and expected normal landing. ECAM and QRH procedures directed a normal landing with green system temporarily restored just prior to landing. Landed without incident and taxied to gate.
