1816

The year 1816 is known as the "Year Without a Summer" due to severe climate abnormalities caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815. The eruption ejected massive ash and gases into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight and leading to widespread cooling. This resulted in crop failures, food shortages, and unusual weather patterns across North America and Europe. It was a challenging year for farmers and communities, with cold, wet conditions disrupting normal life and agriculture. The event highlighted how volcanic activity can significantly impact global climate, even far from the eruption site.
