Years between the return of a location's most extreme (hot and dry) summers in a world with deforestation. In a world without deforestation, such summers came once every 10 years. Places where the frequency didn't change are colored gray, places where such summers come more often due to deforestation are colored red, and places where such summers occur less often are colored blue.
