Found this animation and thought it was fun to watch. A recent study made this map of temperatures anomalies (changes relative to an average) around the world for the last 200 years.
You can see how few weather station they had back in the early 1800s, and how drastically colder the Eastern US and Europe was in the second decade of the 1800s. Glad we're not getting that today..
If you look in old cemeteries and see many small children died at this time. very sad. Hunger? Air quality? Cold? So many factors at that time...
The same occured, though to a lesser extent, when Krakatoa blew up in 1883 ; ash clouded the skies for years. It is supposed to have contributed to weather items like The Blizzard of 1888 (NYC) -- according to some sources.
If such a thing occurred today, I doubt it would have anywhere near the consequences it had back then. I mean, look, agriculture in Sweden!
Might not have occurred to you that their agriculture is different from hours, and relevant to their climate. Well we don't have their climate and if you want more cold and frost here you're fooled so you might want to go and live in Sweden or Norway to fulfill your fantastical cold-craving.
Oh, really? Do you not remember August 2003 when over 2,000 people died in the UK due to heat? As well as disruption to travel because of over-heated tracks and temperatures rising to 50C in train carriages? Not to mention Air Conditioning being nonexistent, why would anyone want that? When in recent times have that many people died due to cold in the UK?
If you want to satisfy your need for constant heat and humidity then bugger off to Jamaica, because those summers are long gone as far as the UK is concerned.
