Just bought an air 2s and noticed the motors are hot after a flight, almost to hot to touch. Is this normal?

No warning message, everything operates normal. With all the drones I have owned I never had one where the motors feel so warm/hot after a flight.

At what temperatures are you flying?

As long as you don't get any notifications about overheating, I'd say it's pretty normal. DJI advises to fly below 104°F/40°C, so anything above 90°F/32°C, especially in the Sun, can be considered fairly hot which in turn can cause the motors to heat up.

The motors have a lot of current running through them and they get hot.
The warmer your air is, the less it can cool the motors.
It's completely normal and no cause for alarm.
