it has a very low ignition temp [very close to room temp.]
IN SUMMER SEASON the air will be hotter than the normal room temp. so the white phosphorus reacts with the oxygen in the air and burns on its own
hope it helps!!!!!

Combustion reaction in which no external heat is given is called as Spontaneous reaction.
1. White Phosphorous undergoes Spontaneous reaction.
2. Ignition temperature of white Phosphorous is 35⁰C.
3. During summer as the heat is more, white phosphorous undergoes spontaneous combustion and produces lot of heat and smoke.
