Fan ghost?

It's around 95F to a hundred here in the tropics specially now that summer is in full blast!

I pulled over a 7-11, turned off the ignition and got my self a cold soda. Took me about 10 mins inside the store. Upon returning to my P, I was surprised that the rear fan (the one attached to the rear engine hood) was on in full blast!

Is this normal? Should I wait for the fans to turn off before leaving the vehicle or something? Wouldn't this drain the battery if it happens every now and then? This is the first time I noticed the fans turning on by themselves Do you guys experience this?

Sounds normal as long as it shuts off. The temp in the engine compartment is what makes that one go on.
