Online alarm clock for 3:42 pm
While you are preparing for the storm, set the 3:42 pm alarm as the cue to check whether every window is shut. That leaves a useful stretch before 4:00 pm to walk through the rooms, secure any loose catches and look over windows near the verandah or laundry before the weather arrives.
Because the windows check matters later, test the alarm sound now rather than discovering a problem when you need the reminder. Set it briefly for the next minute, confirm the volume is clearly audible from another room, then reset it for 3:42 pm. Keep the browser running and the screen awake: otherwise, the windows reminder will not sound, so use a separate alarm if you expect to put the phone or computer aside.
Once the afternoon check is finished, use the remaining time before your next commitment as a buffer instead of filling every minute. Put anything moved away from the windows somewhere safe, note any latch that needs attention, and leave a few minutes for a final glance outside. If another task begins at 4:00 pm, this small margin helps the storm preparation stay contained rather than spilling into the rest of the day.
Common questions
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.
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
Why use a browser alarm instead of my phone's built-in one?
Mainly for reliability against silent mode, do-not-disturb, or a phone left charging out of earshot. It's a useful backup or a desk-based alternative, though it depends on this tab staying open rather than running in the background of your phone.
