How many liters of water can a single large oak tree evaporate on a hot summer day?

About 400 liters

Background

A large oak tree pulls huge amounts of water from the soil on a hot day and releases it through its leaves into the air. This way the tree cools itself and also its surroundings. That is why it often feels much nicer in a forest than in a city. Trees are natural air conditioners.
