cold spot

Localized temperature drop

A cold spot is an area noticeably cooler than its surroundings.

In buildings, cold spots often indicate poor insulation or drafts: There's a cold spot by the window.

In paranormal contexts, cold spots supposedly signal ghostly presence.

The term also appears in physics and cosmology, referring to regions of lower temperature or energy in otherwise uniform fields.
