It's supposed to do that. Something to do with cooling the fuel vapours after running the engine.

Mine does it on a warm day or if it's been stood still & then switched off.

Got to agree. The fan on my Storm sometimes kicks in after a short drive of a couple of miles, even if the water temp remains reasonably low (ie before it's even reached the half way mark). This can only be a good thing as VR6 motors seem to generate a lot of heat in a small engine bay. Suggest you only worry if the fan doesn't come on.
