Yep, they really are hot. I first noticed the effect when I was quite young and a neighbor used to pile lawn clippings next to his garage. They looked all soft and pleasant, so I sat down in them. Yikes!
Now that I have ten years of daily experience with hay bales, I can tell you that spontaneous combustion of wet hay is a real danger that must be taken into consideration.
