Online alarm clock for 3:55 pm
While you watch the clock for the right moment to check whether the windows are shut before the storm, a 3:55 pm alarm can keep the task from slipping past. It leaves a short, useful window before 4:00 pm: enough time to move through the rooms, secure any open windows and bring in anything sitting on the sill before the weather reaches your area.
With rain and wind building outside, choose a signal volume that can still be heard over conversation, television, kitchen noise or the first heavy drops on the roof. Test the sound beforehand if the surroundings are already loud, and keep the phone close rather than buried in a bag. Keep the alarm page running and the phone awake; otherwise the 3:55 pm signal will not sound, and the windows may remain unchecked when the storm arrives.
Once the windows are secured, factor the afternoon road conditions into whatever comes next. Around 4:00 pm, school pick-up traffic and the early commuter build-up can lengthen a drive in Australian suburbs and city corridors. Check the likely travel time before leaving, then allow a modest buffer for wet roads, slower intersections and reduced visibility if the storm has started.
Common questions
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.
Is there a cost to use this?
No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.
