It's still the virus that causes the cold virus. Not the weather. However this study shows that cold weather makes us more susceptible to being infected with a virus because of two things:

1. It lowers the temperature of our nasal passages to an optimum level for the virus to thrive.

2. The cold weather lowers our immune response.
