What causes cotton bales to explode?

A compressed cotton bale may explode when exposed to high humidity. Cotton is highly hygroscopic and readily absorbs water vapor from the air. After baling at ideal moisture content, subsequent water absorption could potentially increase the volume of cotton by 40-45%. This may cause an "explosion."
