Online alarm clock for 4:29 pm
When you are halfway through packing up, a 4:29 pm alarm gives you a clear break to check the VicEmergency app before the drive home. You have time to read the warning details, confirm whether your usual route is affected and make a practical choice before 5:00 pm, instead of glancing at a notification while heading out.
Because this reminder is tied to your VicEmergency check, keep this page open and the browser active after setting the alarm for 4:29 pm. If you close the tab or browser, or your phone goes to sleep, the alarm may not sound and your VicEmergency check could be missed before the road home. Leave the sound turned up, and use a separate phone alarm as backup if the reminder cannot be missed.
Before you step outside for the afternoon drive, notice whether the air feels humid or heavy rather than judging conditions from indoors. At this hour, a brief check near an open doorway can help you choose whether to run the air conditioning early and clear any window haze before joining traffic. Keep water within reach, especially if the car has been sitting in the sun.
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.
