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.

You get sick from being all hot and sweaty and then turning the temp to cold really fast. That's how you catch a cold in the summer.

This is an outdated belief. In fact, you get sick from viruses or bacteria, not from temperature changes.
