Why do more people get it around the time when it gets cold? I can tell from personal experience I get cold symptoms when i don’t dress properly when it’s getting colder, or if I spend too much time in a room with AC in the summer. But it’s caused by a virus. What does the temperature have to do with the cold virus?

Also, is the virus wasn’t present would it be possible for us to spend time in cold weather without getting sick?

It is a virus, you get it more often when its cold cause your body is normally to warm for it to survive, when its cold outside, and especially when cold air gets in your lungs, the virus survivability chances increase.
