Sure it does. Just like it has done in Brazil with the loss of large portions of the Amazon forest. Trees provide shade/cooling, etc.

"Deforestation, the depletion of forests and other wild flora in woodlands, has significant effects on the weather. These range from local distortions to contributions to global climate change. Deforestation removes the ability of the forest to sequester carbon, absorb sunlight, process water and block the wind."
