We investigate the thermal quench of Ising and Potts models via Monte Carlo dynamics. We find that the local distribution of the site-site interaction energy has the same form as in the equilibrium case, a result that allows us to define an instantaneous temperature θ during the systems relaxation. We also find that, after an undercritical quench, θ equals the heat bath temperature in a finite time, while the total system energy is still decreasing due to the coarsening process.
