In a hot climate air expands, causing more pressure, not less. If your tires are continually losing pressure you have a leak that needs to be fixed.

What is the characteristic of pressure loss in tires?
The tires go flat. The tires lose air even if they don't have any defects or holes, the air goes right through the rubber by osmosis. For applications where tire pressure is critical they use nitrogen to inflate them. One of the amazing things about air in tires is that different gasses depart the tires with different speeds. Probably a good science project in this.

Why some air escapes from tires when you fill air in tires?
If air is escaping from your tires then you have a leak. Repair the leak and no more air will escape. This is not to say you never have to check the air pressure. Tires are made from a porous material and as such will loose a very small amount of air even under the best of circumstances. Check the pressure on a regular basis.
