Explanation:

Step1: Analyze temperature data

From the line - graph of average temperature, in the Southern Hemisphere (winters: June - August; summers: December - February), the temperature in summers (e.g., December - February around \(20^{\circ}C\)) is higher than in winters (e.g., June - August around \(12 - 13^{\circ}C\)).

Step2: Analyze precipitation data

From the bar - graph of average precipitation, in summers (December - February, precipitation around \(20\) mm or less), and in winters (June - August, precipitation around \(90 - 100\) mm). So, summers have less precipitation than winters.

Answer:

Summers have higher temperatures and less precipitation than winters on average.
