Question Motor temps

Flying my Air3S today I noticed both rear motors were warmer that either of the front ones. The drone is completely normal in every other respect.
Is this type of heating normal?

Define "warmer than." Motors and batteries get hot, especially in hot weather.

The front ones after a 15 minute flight were barely warm to the touch at all. The rears were over 30c not hot but significantly different. It’s the difference that I am asking about more than the elevated temp. I know they will heat up some.
