Ulaanbaatar has the greater annual range of temperature among the given cities.

Annual range of temperature is the difference between the average temperature of the warmest month and the coldest month. This range is typically largest in locations far from moderating influences like large bodies of water (continental effect) and at higher latitudes where seasonal differences in solar insolation are more pronounced.

– Kuala Lumpur is near the equator, experiencing a consistently tropical climate with a small annual temperature range.
– New Delhi is in a subtropical continental climate zone, experiencing hot summers and relatively cold winters, leading to a significant annual range.
– Shanghai is in a subtropical monsoon climate zone, also experiencing seasonal variations but its coastal location provides some moderation compared to inland areas.
– Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, is located deep inland in a high-latitude region (around 47°N). It experiences an extreme continental climate with very cold, long winters and relatively warm summers, resulting in one of the largest annual temperature ranges among capital cities worldwide.
