Author Mary Robinette Kowal has written a series of novels that are known as the glamour of history. The third one was some of my most recent airplane reading while I was on a flight. It's set in 1816 and there is ongoing discussion about whether that year is unseasonably cold, whether it's caused by magic or not.
The 2015 episode covers a volcano eruption in Sumbawa, Indonesia in 1816, that combined with several other factors to create an unusual -- and catastrophic -- series of weather events.
