Yes, if the weather is hot - Air in the tire will expand slightly and will have an effect on the pressure as it wants to take up more room in size. If the weather is cold the air will contract and more air will be needed - the reason for the extra air is so that the tire doesn't go down. The Math: Pressure increases directly with Temperature. So there's an easy formula to use.
Since 0 psig in a tire is really 14.7 psia and 0oC is really 273oK the temperature and pressure for the tires you fill is Start Pressure = (Pressure on the gauge + 14.7) psia, and Start Temperature = (Measured temp +273) . Temperature at the end = End Temperature = (Measured temp in C + 273), and pressure at the new temperature = End Pressure So: End Pressure = Start Pressure x End Temperature / Start Temperature Since End Pressure includes an extra 14.7 psia, subtract it out and that's the pressure on the gauge in psig.

Does air pressure of a tire decrease as the temperature of the tire increases?
No. The pressure increases with temperature increase
What can increase tire pressure?
Increased temperature will increase tire pressure a bit. Lower ambient pressure will increase tire pressure a bit as well.
What temperature is it inside your truck tire?
It is dependent on the tire materials, pressure, and the outside temperature. So, research your tire specs.
How do depth and temperature affect pressure?
Depth and temperature affect pressure by increasing the pressure as the depth increases. As depth increases, temperature often falls.
Why is it better to ckeck tire pressure when its cold?
you should always check your tire inflation pressure when your tires are cold, and inflate them to the recommended pressure at that time. A good estimate to use when comparing tire pressure to air temperature is for every 10 degrees F, tire pressure will adjust by 1 psi. For example, if the outside air temperature increases 10 degrees, the tire pressure will increase by 1 psi. Conversely, if the air temperature falls 10 degrees, the tire pressure will decrease by 1 psi.
How does temperature affect air pressure?
As temperature increases so does the pressure
Does tire pressure affect mpg?
Yes it does. At optimum pressure you get better mpg
Does temperature affect hydrostatic pressure?
YES it is called "pressure temperature relationship" temperature rises so does the pressure
Does temperature affect air pressure?
In the atmosphere increasing the temperature the pressure decrease.
Why does air pressure in a cars tire increase after a long drive?
As you drive, the friction of the road and the flexing of the tire increases the tires temperature. When you increase the temperature of a gas in a sealed container the pressure goes up.As you drive, the friction of the road and the flexing of the tire increases the tires temperature. When you increase the temperature of a gas in a sealed container the pressure goes up.
Why does tire pressure increase in the summer and decreases in the winter?
Pressure increase when temperature increase.
What happen to the pressure in an automobile tire in cold weather?
Pressure drops when the temperature drops.
