You can’t catch a cold just from being in the rain. Colds are caused by viruses, not by getting wet. However, being cold and wet can lower your body’s defenses, making it easier for a virus to make you sick.
So staying dry and warm is crucial, especially in chilly weather. If you get soaked, change into dry clothes quickly. Always wash your hands and cover your mouth when you sneeze to help prevent catching or spreading colds.
