To think the UK (and cold climates) make me sick

A little less dramatic than the title may suggest.

I live in a warm country, however, anytime I return to the UK or another cold country during cold weather I instantly develop a runny nose and sore throat.

Example: Last December I visited Austria. Before visiting I felt perfectly healthy, within 48 hours I had a sore throat, was embarrassingly bad with a stuffy nose - within 3 hours of landing back in my resident country I felt fine again.

I grew up in Scotland and am worried/confused as to why this could be?

Probably because your body isn't used to the sudden change of temperatures.
