Abstract: Let $T$ be a maximal torus in a connected compact Lie group $G$, and let $W$ be the corresponding Weyl group with its natural action on $T$ as a reflection group. The cohomology group $H^1(W;T)$ is computed for all simple Lie groups, and the general case is studied. The method is based on a suitable interpretation of $H^1(W;T)$ as a group of (outer) automorphisms of the normalizer of $T$. {\eightsl
