cows, birds, dogs, and farm animals why do they act weird when a storm is coming and how do they sense the storm coming

It is thought that animals are more sensitive to the changes in barametric pressure than us humans. This is kinda like how my surgery scars from my collapsed lung from 20yrs ago starts to hurt every time there is a big change in pressure or temp.
This is also thought to be true for animals in earthquake regions that respond to the earliest tremors that are unfelt by humans but indicate a potential problem.
If you think about it in terms of evolution, the animals that 'learned' how to sense these changes were the ones that survived the storms and such thus passing on their 'sensetive' genes to their offspring.
Hope this answers the question.

humans can sense it too were just not so reliant now and therefore are senses are dulled ..
as for the charming Darwin's survival of the fittest notion. there were these two dinosaurs working out doing a bit o circuit training when one says "i think there's going to be a meteor smashing into the earth shortly ol boy" to which the other replies "thought so i felt the spikes stand up on the back o my neck" the first says "it'll be that animals 6th sense we ave about these sort of things" they died! their super fit highly sensitive genes died too!

isn't THAT THE most weird!! they in basic terms must have AN instinct we do not. AND did you comprehend THAT COWS HUDDLE right into a CIRCLE ALL CROWDED at the same time even as severe climate IS COMING. NOW THAT became FREAKY after I HAD considered THAT. I stay IN NORTH DAKOTA and that i became continually informed that once there is severe climate IF THERE are not any BIRDS FLYING OR CHIRPING round THEN which skill undesirable undesirable climate.

someone already beat me to the answer....
animals are much more sensitive to barametric pressure than we are. anytime a storm is coming, the air pressure actually changes enough that the animals can sense it.

they can sence a storm by the smell of the wind, like it gets colder and picks up when a storm is coming and they usually seek shelter.

absolutley they can sense a change in the atmosphere or barometric pressure.....something and they know....cows for example will gather under a tree even before the sstorm starts.

I think that they are able to sense changes in the atmosphere. I'm not sure how it works though.

Well my friend. It dates back far before the time of the dinosaurs. And, I'm sorry, but none of us were alive at that time so there's no possible way we could know the answer.

Scientists aren't sure, as it's very puzzling. I think it's since they have better senses than us
