Mount Tambora, in Indonesia, erupted April 10, 1815. The following year saw the northern hemisphere cool. The year after that was filled with rain and severe flooding.
It's believed the situation may have been aggravated by the eruption of Mayon, in the Philippines, in 1814, an eruption in Japan, in 1813, eruptions in the East Indies and the Caribbean, in 1812, and a mystery eruption in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, in 1808.
