Per Wikipedia:
“Average global temperatures fell by as much as 1.2 degrees Celsius (34 degrees F)in the year following the eruption. Weather patterns continued to be chaotic for years and temperatures did not return to normal until 1888.”

Evidently not.
The eruption of Mt. Tambora (also in the East Indies) in 1815 was much greater than the better-known explosion of Krakatoa in 1883. It pumped so much ash into the atmosphere that 1816 was called the year without summer and the weather stayed so cool in much of the northern hemisphere that crops did not ripen, causing millions of deaths by famine and disease (300,000 in Ireland alone). The US was affected but did not suffer as badly because there were more sources of food still available.
I think the Blizzard of 1888 and similar bad weather elsewhere was the last gasp. In 1815, Tambora (5 mile diameter crater)was an even larger eruption giving us the Year With No Summer in New England and elsewhere, 1816. Also there were major floods in North America in 1821/22. After Pinatubo (3 mile crater)in 1991 the weather was crazy for up to 5 or 6 year. I remember there was one ice storm in New England/Canada that coated trees and power lines with 1” of ice with major destruction and collapse. I forget the year. There might not be a major crater in Iceland for that period. A major eruption there in 1783 was at the Laki Fissure. Ben Franklin remarked on the weird weather in Europe where he was in diplomatic service. It also caused crop failures which helped trigger the French Revolution.
Cassiodorus (Roman) also wrote about the strange weather. Swiss Alps were in a good position to record Icelandic eruptions. I suspect more so than Greenland which also has ice cores.
