As we all know, coldness is when there's no heat.
If the ashes of volcano covers the skies of Malaysia-Thailand-Indo, no sunlight can penetrate to our land. Is it possible for a subzero temperature?

Malaysia does not have volcanoes. So not much chance of this happening. But when a big volcano (super volcano) erupts, it will cause a lot of ash to be deposited in the atmosphere. This ash can block the sunlight, and result in winter like conditions all over the world. Even though the volcano is far away (like thousands of miles away).

Normal volcanoes normally do not cause major disruptions. But super volcanoes, yes.

One example of super volcano is Lake Toba in Sumatra. This was a super volcano that caused mass extinctions in the past.

Yeah, that's why I'm asking if the ashes covers only Malaysia-Thai-Indo..
I mean, a small coverage of ashes on just this area, not all of Asia..

With the heat still can come from east and west, is it possible to reach subzero?
