Low tire pressure indicator light was on. Passenger rear tire pressure was 20.5 psi while other three tires were ~24.5 or 27.5 psi. All tires made to be 32.5 psi per gauge on inflator pump. This note was created a few days later so do not recall exact pressure of other three tires, however they were all the same. Tires were last filled in warmer mid-Atlantic. This incident occured in Maine where it was much cooler.
