It always annoyed me that if I went to the mountain forecast it didn't have the mournes.

well technically it still doesn't, well not from the mountain range forecast page, but if you use this link ( http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/ni/ni_forecast_weather.html ) you do get a little bit of a mourne forecast at the bottom of the northern ireland one.

Interesting. Is this just a pure scientific forecast or do they have equipment on the mountains?

No equipment on the mountains in this country, in Scotland they have weather stations on some big mountains like Cairngorm. http://cairngormweather.eps.hw.ac.uk/
