anybody has any input on what the vulcano eruption will do to the weather in europe this year?below is apiece about the aftermath of the eruption of krakatoa vulcano in indonesia in 1883

In the weeks following the eruption, fine fragments of tephra and dust that were propelled kilometers into the stratosphere began to make a ring around the equator. They would remain suspended there for years causing remarkable solar effects and atmospheric hazing as they bent the incoming light. Also the enormous volumes of sulfur dioxide gas molecules that were ejected into the atmosphere combined with water to make sulfuric acid. These acidic aerosols sufficiently blocked enough sunlight to drop the Earth's temperature by several degrees for a few years. There presence in the atmosphere also created spectacular effects over 70% of the Earth's surface. Effects such as halos around the sun and moon, and amazing sunsets and sunrises were seen. For years these particles would remain suspended in the atmosphere being the final reminder of the massive and fatal blast that occurred in Sundra Straits. At least for a time...

not sure. id say it would effect us more (if it were the same amount) than krakatoa did then.but the winds and everything else would have to be the same. iceland is in a different region and that could affect the outcome. as of now we have less of an uncontaminated area for the dispersal of such gasses so they could linger in the atmosphere longer. but i'm only surmising.
