how does a weather cock tell weather information?

it shows the direction that the wind is coming from. \nthis is because it normally has a huge tail and a small head. the wind blows the huge tail, and the head points towards where the wind is coming from.

A small test tube type of rain guage.\nTape a small calibrated thermometer to it ans us that for the flag pole for a small wind sock.

don't you have a weather station?

They try to predict the weather.

Different TV stations use different weather services for their weather forecasts.\n\nSome use Accuweather.  Some use the National Weather Service.  Others may use the Weather Channel as their source.\n\nEach of these services use different computer models and different human beings interpreting the results of these models to create their forecasts.\n\nWhen I go skiing near Lake Tahoe, I go with the National Weather Service because their predictions seem the most accurate and they include weather predictions about the snow level.  This is important because it tells me weather or not I'll be stuck driving behind someone with chains and weather I'll be skiing in rain/snow or dry, powdery snow.

maybe it senses the temp?-just a guess

Yahoo! Weather tells you that.

Generally, as with most animals, they can sense weather patterns and climate changes.  When something is out of the everyday pattern, their behavior changes.  As far as hurricanes: you usually see the birds leave waayyy before most of the people do.\n\nSo yeah, they fly away before it even hits land.

It doesn't.  That's why most boys in Tennessee use a rock hanging from a string to emulate a complete weather station.  If the rock is swinging, the wind is blowing.  If the rock is wet, it's raining.  If the rock is gone, it's a tornado.

The most accurate place to get your weather forecast information would be the National Weather Service.\nhttp://nws.noaa.gov/

Weather satellites are used to collect basic data, such as temperature and moisture levels, which allows experts to predict weather to a reasonable extent. Past attempts to control weather have been largely unsuccessful and have centered mainly in trying to create rain.

Weather forecasting are using models. They are close to(or maybe not), but will never will be the truth.  So the models need constant input of true weather to correct itself.  Radar, balloons, satellites are providing such "truth" of the weather. In terms of the scope, the satellite is probably the best.

"There are basically four elements of weather that can help describe weather. The four elements include  wind, temperature, air pressure and moisture." (From the ref.) These may seem an arbitrary choice until you realize that they are all easily measurable and independent of each other, whereas dew point and cloud cover can be said to derive from humidity, temperature and pressure.

I use weather.com and weather.gov quite often, but I would definetely recommend weatherbug.com. Go to this website and scroll to the bottom and enter your zip/postal code or US city name and it will find the nearest Weatherbug weather station (normally very near your house) and give you LIVE results that are being recorded from your area. To access these results, next to the the temperature and wind speed/direction, click the "Click here to see more observations" and it will add a little box with a lot more details (top wind gust, average precip per hour, precip so far today, high/low temps, etc.) GREAT WEBSITE! Includes forecasts, alerts, doppler radar, satellite, weather news, video, pictures, etc.

Try weather underground.  Many people have weather stations with logs of temperatures for locales.\n\nYahoo Search: weather underground 90010\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?p=weather+underground+90010&ei=UTF-8&fr=slv1-&x=wrt\n\nThis will get you the page:\nhttp://www.wunderground.com/US/CA/Wilshire_Center/KCQT.html?extendedsun=sunon\n\nFrom the personal pages, you can find a weather station such as:\nhttp://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KCALOSAN8\n\nThat page has a way to ask for the weather on a particular date:\nhttp://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KCALOSAN8&month=1&day=24&year=2006\n\n\nIt looks like a high of 75-78F, with a low of 49F.\n\n\nAccuweather.com offers historical data but for a price.\nJust saw that you have "DA" on you moniker.  Presumably a District Attorney?  They you might be looking for Forensic weather services such as:\n\nhttp://forensics.accuweather.com/
