Online alarm clock for 11:35 pm
Get the shutters secured now, while the house is still quiet, then use an alarm for 11:35 pm as a final check before the windy night arrives. Setting it ahead of time leaves room to inspect the latches, bring in anything loose from the verandah and finish before 12:00 am, without relying on memory late in the evening.
Keep this alarm page running after setting 11:35 pm, with the sound turned up enough to hear from the rooms where you are checking windows. If the page or browser is closed, the alarm will not sound to remind you about the shutters; a sleeping phone or computer can have the same consequence. For a task tied to worsening weather, leave the screen awake and the page available until the alert has played. A separate phone alarm is a sensible backup if you may step away.
Once the shutters are fastened, avoid pushing the air conditioner much colder just because the evening heat has lingered indoors. Closed windows and shutters change the airflow, so choose a steady setting and give the room time to settle. At 11:35 pm, check that outdoor furniture is clear of the unit and that curtains are not blocking an indoor vent; both help the cooled air circulate while gusts stay outside.
Common questions
Can I change the alarm sound?
Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
