Looping through two raster datasets and performing raster calculation on them with Arcpy

Question

I have 2 raster datasets of temperature and precipitation from WorldClim. Is there any way to loop through 2 raster datasets at the same time and perform raster calculation on them. So that the combination on every loop is something like this:
temp1 and prec1 
temp2 and prec2
..
temp12 and prec 12

I know how to loop through 1 raster dataset and perform raster calculation on it which looks like this:
import arcpy 
from arcpy.sa import *

arcpy.CheckOutExtension('Spatial')
arcpy.env.workspace = r'D:Data'
rasters = arcpy.ListRasters('*.tif*')

for raster in rasters:
    outraster = Raster(raster) > 0.1
    #Save temp raster to disk with new name
    outraster.save(raster.replace('.tif', '_temp.tif'))

print('Done Processing')

I don"t know exactly what you want to do, but if the names are structured the same way you coul list one input and change its name. It is safer than making two lists if one of the prec%.tif file is missing.
import arcpy 
from arcpy.sa import *

arcpy.CheckOutExtension('Spatial')
arcpy.env.workspace = r'D:Data'
rasters = arcpy.ListRasters('temp*',"TIF")

for raster in rasters:
    try:
        ras_temp = Raster(raster)
        ras_prec = Raster(raster.replace("temp","prec"))
        #do what you want with the rasters e.g outraster = ras_tem + ras_prec
        #Save temp raster to disk with new name
        outraster.save(raster.replace('.tif','_temp.tif'))
    except:
        print("there was a problem with" + raster)

print('Done Processing')

import arcpy

rasterfolder = r'C:GISdatatestdataoutrasters'
arcpy.env.workspace = rasterfolder

temps = arcpy.ListRasters(wild_card='temp*')
precs = arcpy.ListRasters(wild_card='prec*')

for temp, prec in zip(temps, precs):
    print(temp, prec)
    #Do something

Prints:
temp1.tif prec1.tif
temp2.tif prec2.tif
