No. Drastic changes in weather conditions can wreak havoc on one's immune system only if the exposure causes hypothermia (by the medical definition of severely reduced core body temperature), not just feeling cold.

You catch a cold by being exposed to someone who already has a cold and sneezes or coughs near you, or shakes your hand, or from your touching them or objects they have touched, or any method of transferring the viruses from their body to yours. See the related question below about how colds are spread.

No, not simply by being exposed to cold weather, a virus has to be in the "recipe" too. See the related question, Can you catch a cold by being in the cold?

Catching a cold has little or nothing to do with the ambient temperature.

If the virus is present it is possible that you may be infected.

Can you catch a cold from going from hot to cold weather?

No. Despite the name a cold really has nothing to do with cold weather. A cold is a virus and can only be caught from pathogens. You wouldn't catch a cold even by being in a tanktop and shorts in winter in Canada. You'd start getting numb and probably sneeze, but that's not a cold.
