The given statement is of the form $p \implies q$.
The contrapositive of $p \implies q$ is $\neg q \implies \neg p$.
Thus,the contrapositive is: 'If something does not have low temperature,then it is not cold.'
The converse of $p \implies q$ is $q \implies p$.
Thus,the converse is: 'If something has low temperature,then it is cold.'
