Let’s go step by step to answer all the questions using the climate graphs for Cantabria, Tenerife, Valencia, and Madrid.

We’ll look at each city’s graph carefully — red line = temperature (°C), blue bars = precipitation (mm). Months are numbered 01 to 12 (January to December).

---

CANTABRIA:

- Most precipitations? → Look at tallest blue bar. Month 12 (December) is highest (~150 mm).
- Hottest month? → Highest point on red line. Month 08 (August) ~20°C.
- Lowest temperature? → Lowest point on red line. Month 01 (January) ~9°C.

TENERIFE:

- Months with no precipitations? → Blue bars at zero. Months 06, 07, 08 (June, July, August) have almost no rain.
- Lowest temperature? → Lowest red line point. Month 01 or 02 ~18°C.
- Difference between highest and lowest temp? → Highest ~25°C (Aug), lowest ~18°C → 25 - 18 = 7°C.

VALENCIA:

- Highest temperature? → Red line peak. Month 08 (August) ~26°C.
- Season with more precipitations? → Look at blue bars. Autumn (Sep, Oct, Nov) has high bars, especially Oct. But also spring (Mar, Apr) has some. Actually, autumn (Oct-Nov) is wettest. Let’s say “autumn”.
- Season with lowest precipitations? → Summer (Jun, Jul, Aug) — very low bars.

MADRID:

- Season with least precipitations? → Summer (Jun, Jul, Aug) — blue bars are lowest then.
- Month with most precipitations? → Tallest blue bar. Month 11 (November) ~60 mm.
- Difference between most and least precipitations? → Most: Nov ~60 mm, Least: Jul ~5 mm → 60 - 5 = 55 mm.

---

Now the bottom questions:

Which cities are the hottest in summer?
Summer = Jun, Jul, Aug. Compare red lines in those months:
- Cantabria: ~20°C
- Tenerife: ~24–25°C
- Valencia: ~25–26°C
- Madrid: ~24–25°C
→ So Valencia and Tenerife are hottest in summer.

Which city is the warmest in winter?
Winter = Dec, Jan, Feb. Compare red lines:
- Cantabria: ~9–10°C
- Tenerife: ~18–19°C ← much warmer!
- Valencia: ~10–12°C
- Madrid: ~6–8°C
→ Tenerife is warmest in winter.

Which is the city with the most precipitations? And the least?
Look at total blue bars over year:
- Cantabria: Very high all year, especially winter → likely MOST.
- Tenerife: Low most of year, only a bit in winter → likely LEAST.
Check totals roughly:
Cantabria: many bars above 100 mm → total > 1000 mm
Tenerife: mostly under 30 mm, few over → total < 300 mm
Valencia & Madrid: medium.
→ Most: Cantabria, Least: Tenerife

In which city there is the most change of temperature?
Change = difference between hottest and coldest month.
- Cantabria: 20°C (Aug) - 9°C (Jan) = 11°C
- Tenerife: 25°C - 18°C = 7°C
- Valencia: 26°C - 11°C = 15°C
- Madrid: 24°C - 6°C = 18°C ← biggest range!
→ Madrid has the most temperature change.

---

Final Answer:

CANTABRIA:
- Month with most precipitations: December (month 12)
- Hottest month: August (month 8)
- Lowest temperature: January (month 1) ≈ 9°C

TENERIFE:
- Months with no precipitations: June, July, August (months 6, 7, 8)
- Lowest temperature: January/February ≈ 18°C
- Difference between highest and lowest temperatures: 7°C

VALENCIA:
- Highest temperature: August (month 8) ≈ 26°C
- Season with more precipitations: Autumn (especially October)
- Season with lowest precipitations: Summer

MADRID:
- Season with least precipitations: Summer
- Month with most precipitations: November (month 11)
- Difference between most and least precipitations: 55 mm

Bottom Questions:
- Cities hottest in summer: Valencia and Tenerife
- City warmest in winter: Tenerife
- City with most precipitations: Cantabria; least: Tenerife
- City with most temperature change: Madrid
