Explanation:

In the Northern Hemisphere, north-facing slopes in latitudes receive less direct sunlight than south-facing slopes. The lack of direct sunlight throughout the day, whether in winter or summer, results in north-facing slopes being cooler than south-facing slopes.

South-facing slope (more open to sunlight and warm winds) will generally be warmer and drier due to higher levels of evaporation and transpiration than a north-facing slope.So South facing slopes are much warmer.
