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.

Is it safe to work out under a shower as the head is sweating and the cold water is dropping on your head. Does hot from the workout and cold from the shower make you catch a cold or get a headache?
Not quite sure how you would work out under a cold shower, but I think your basic question is about cold water on hot, sweaty, active bodies and the possibility of it being unsafe or causing one to "catch a cold". As far as safety, that would best be answered by your doctor, considering your overall health, heart condition etc.... As far as headache, that's quite possible any time you are hot and stick your head under cold water!! As far as catching a cold, that sounds like the old "wives' tale" about not going out in the cold if your hair is wet! That is not how you catch a cold! You catch a cold from viruses, the most common being the rhinovirus. Many healthy people will take a cold shower or swim in a "cool" pool after a steam room, sauna room, or a good workout. Again, that does not cause one to catch a cold, being exposed to a virus causes one to catch a cold.
