That was in 1883. The amount of dust thrown into the atmosphere by the eruption lowered the average temperatures in any one place around the globe by 1.2 degrees C for the next five years.

Weather patterns in general were very erratic during those five years, 1884 sometimes being called "The Year Without a Summer", though that title has been used for other years, where volcanic ash lowered the temperature, too.
