Storm Eunice: 122mph winds recorded as travel disrupted across UK and schools closed | ITV News

A record gust of 122mph has been recorded on the Needles on the Isle of Wight - provisionally the highest gust ever recorded in England, as Storm Eunice hits the UK.

The powerful gust could surpass the previous record of 118mph in Cornwall in 1979.

People are being urged to stay home as Storm Eunice, one of the worst storms to hit the UK in a generation, brought dangerous high winds and rain that had downed power lines and blown over trees.
