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.

Would a transformer catch a fire if were cold outside?

It is unlikely for a transformer to catch fire solely due to cold weather. However, extreme cold temperatures can lead to issues with the insulation and components of the transformer, potentially increasing the risk of a fire if there are pre-existing faults or failures in the system. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help prevent such risks.

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

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.
