– 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.
