The eruption of the Tonga volcano may cause my country's summer rain belt to move southward. What impact will it have on the global climate?

Volcanic eruptions will cause global temperatures to drop. What impact will volcanic eruptions have on the global climate?

The eruption of Tonga’s submarine volcano was extremely powerful. Tonga is an island country in the South Pacific. However, this volcanic eruption not only affected some neighboring countries, but also affected Japan as far away as Asia, which is enough to show the power of this submarine volcanic eruption in Tonga. The eruption of an undersea volcano may cause huge changes in the global climate because the distributed volcanic ash contains large amounts of particles, which will gradually spread throughout the world along with the movement of air currents. Why does it affect the global climate?

In 1815, a volcanic eruption in Indonesia was also very powerful. Volcanic ash is always suspended in the air. That year, the global average temperature dropped by about 0.7°C. Therefore, during that year, many areas of the Northern Hemisphere suffered from a "year without summer". At that time, human society was not as developed as it is now, so the production of grain and other crops decreased, causing many people to be unable to live a normal life. In the next year or two, global temperatures should drop due to this volcanic eruption, which will bring severe and extreme weather such as tsunamis and heavy rains to many parts of the world. The reason why it has such a drastic impact on global temperatures is mainly because when volcanoes erupt, a large amount of volcanic ash is produced, and sulfur-containing aerosols are sprayed into the atmosphere and enter the stratosphere with the flow of air, thereby affecting the intensity of the sun's radiation to the earth. . What impact will it have on our country?

If the rainband moves southward under the influence of this volcanic eruption, the flood control pressure in the northern region will be relieved. In comparison, the flood control mechanism in the south is more complete, and the flood control facilities are capable of handling heavier rainfall, so the overall southerly orientation of the rain belt is not necessarily a bad thing. All in all, while an eruption of Tonga's volcano would theoretically have a large impact, substantial changes in response will only be made if the data supports it. If it is just a theoretical speculation, it is still not accurate enough.
