How does climate change contribute to the intensity and timing of heatwaves in northern India?

The early and prolonged heatwave, exceeding typical April-June occurrences, is attributed to global warming and climate change. This year's heatwave is anticipated to be intense across much of India, with states like Uttar Pradesh potentially experiencing 10-11 heatwave days, significantly more than usual. This is evidenced by the shrinking spring season and a rapid transition from winter to summer in northern India.

What specific environmental factors, beyond temperature, were considered in the study to isolate the impact of heat on aging?

The study followed over 3,600 older adults (average age 69) from 2010, analyzing blood samples for epigenetic markers to assess biological age. Researchers found a clear link between heat exposure and faster cellular aging, with residents of hotter regions appearing 1.5-2.5 years older than their counterparts. Initial effects appeared within weeks or months of heat exposure.
