because the temperature is high and many bacterias ang viruses are developing...

Food spoils more readily in summer months because of the increase in temperature, which causes bacteria, which is everywhere, to multiply. Which is why we keep food in the refrigerator, or freezer. colder temperatures slow the growth of bacteria, the main cause of food spoilage.
