Eli5: why do wildfires get worse when temps are higher? Does a 10-20 degree difference (f) really matter? Does it just dry out the surrounding brush faster?

It’s not only dryness, remember all you need to start a wildfire is energy, and heat is energy. When it gets hot, not only does it dry out, but it reduces the excess energy needed to create ignition.
