Online alarm clock for 12:23 am
Pause what you are doing and set the alarm for 12:23 am so you can break away to check whether the storm has left water pooling around the house. That gives you a clear prompt to inspect low doorways, the garage and outdoor drains rather than becoming absorbed in the current job until 1:00 am.
Before returning to that job, test the signal at a low volume and confirm that it is clearly audible from where you will be. A quick trial now can reveal muted browser audio, an unsuitable tone or volume that disappears beneath rain and air-conditioning noise. Keep the alarm page active and the phone or computer awake after the test. If the page is closed or the device sleeps, the browser alarm will not sound, so the storm inspection may be missed.
Once the house has settled after the storm, midnight warmth can make an indoor check feel less urgent than it is. Set the air conditioner to a steady, comfortable level instead of making the room very cold, as stepping outside at 12:23 am may then feel unusually muggy. Keep a torch and dry shoes near the exit so the inspection is brief, and avoid walking through standing water where the ground or electrical hazards cannot be seen.
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.
