Dry wood placed in an oven at 371°C or 700°F. catches fire almost immediately. Green wood needs more time. At oven temperatures of 260°C or 500°F, the dry wood gradually chars and usually ignites after several hours. “Pyrophoric carbon,” formed when wood slowly chars, absorbs and combines rapidly with oxygen.
Hot temperatures of 45°C or 112°F are unbearable to us humans, but to start random fires you need ignition at that temperature. We are seeing a heat wave in the UK peaking at 40°C, that's just 3°C above blood temperature.
If you really believe the wild fires have started in the UK or anywhere else with a mere 40°C air temperature, you really are as thick as two planks as an ignition source is needed. The images we see on MSM from the UK show dark green grass and people walking in long pants, hardly the image you would think of in a heat wave, that's kind of strange. WTFU.
Humans are responsible for starting 84% of wildfires in the USA. The link below does not go into the U.N's 2030 Global warming agenda though. That's what we are seeing unfolding now. This will take over from the Con-A-Virus on the fake news media as their number one Propaganda B.S. https://www.science.org/content/article/who-starting-all-those-wildfires-we-are
Humidity plays a huge role in ignition as well. Roughly 8% Humidity for a cigarette cherry to ignite in dry grass or leaves as I remember. They're already arresting arsonists on the pacific west coast. They tend to toss lit bbq briquettes out a car window, or toss a road flare while driving by according to arrest reports. You are correct that unless it is a pile of green straw, grass, or manure, or improperly stored chemicals, spontaneous combustion is often not likely.
