Colds are caused by a virus, but not every exposure to the virus causes a cold. If your immune system has been weaken getting sick is more likely. Getting chilled for a long period of time so your body temperature drops can increase the probably of getting a cold if the virus is present, or worsening the symptoms if you are already sick. You usually do not get chilled taking a shower.

Ok the cold has nothing to do with the weather. It is caused by a virus. so the cold is not at all effected by the weather it is spread by people that is why in the winter more people get it becasue everyone is in enclosed spaces allowing for the cold to spread more easily.

simple, you cant in either. colds are caused by germs. not whether you are wet or cold. wash your hands frequently and keep your hands away from your face if you cant wash them.
hand sanitizers help but do not do much against the germs that cause colds which is a rhinovirus. there are thousands of different rhinoviruses but only a few cause the common cold.

You can catch a cold ANYWHERE!! It's caused by a virus, NOT the environment or the temperature of the air.
