Here is how a scientific model is supposed to work. It will have successfully predicted current events.
With the model below Solar Cycle 24, which is in its last year, was successfully predicted in 2008.
This gives confidence in the current prediction of the next 11 years, Solar Cycle 25 -- 2020-2031.
This model uses the Sun's magnetic field as the basis for its prediction of sunspot numbers. (See @10:00 for prediction.)

The Year Without a Summer occurred at the end of Solar Cycle 5. You may note that Solar Cycle 25 is expected to be even weaker than that.

The year 1816 is known as the Year Without a Summer (also the Poverty Year and Eighteen Hundred and Froze To Death) because of severe climate abnormalities that caused average global temperatures to decrease by 0.4–0.7 °C (0.7–1.3 °F). This resulted in major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere.
