WTF? fan running when car is shut off

hi so after i shut off engine and pull out the key and left the car. i noticed that the fan in front of the rad was still spinning. how could this be? does the hot weather have something to do with it (30c)? i dont want it to drain the battery.

If the electric fan is running excessively you may want to get it checked to see if there is a problem with the fan clutch or the sensor...my fan was running loudly and too often so they replaced the fan clutch which was slipping and that anoying noise is gone.
