RECORD gusts on the Island during Storm Eunice could be even higher than first announced, according to the Isle of Wight Met Service.
Local forecaster, Jamie Russell, says the figure is in fact 125.4mph — a record wind speed for the Isle of Wight, and for England.
The Met Office previously confirmed 122mph gusts at The Needles, which was already a record breaker.
The five strongest wind gusts on the Isle of Wight have since been revealed.
