I checked both POR-15 corporate website, and a reseller's 
(http://www.porstore.com/faq.htm) but to no avail. It would be reasonsible 
to assume that similar conditions like many other paints should be present 
- humidity and temperature being the major factors.

Painting Temperature
When using latex be sure that the temperature is above 50 degrees F. It is 
difficult for latex to form a film at lower temperatures. With 
solvent-borne paint, be sure the temperature is at least 5 degrees above 
the dew point. If it isn't, water may condense on the surface as it cools 
while the solvent evaporates, causing an uneven blushing effect. 

While most conventional paints must be applied above 55 degrees 
fahrenheit, cold weather paints are designed to resist moisture, frosting, 
and blistering in temperatures as low as 35 degrees
