Online alarm clock for 10:23 pm
While you watch the clock for the moment to secure the house against a storm coming off the strait, set the alarm for 10:23 pm so the waiting does not distract you from the forecast. That leaves a useful window before 11:00 pm for checking outdoor furniture, windows and anything exposed to a strong Cook Strait southerly.
Your storm preparations could be delayed if the browser stops running before 10:23 pm, because this alarm will not sound once its session has ended or the phone has gone to sleep. Silent mode can also suppress or soften the alert, depending on the phone and browser. Keep this page active, prevent the screen from sleeping, raise the alert volume and test the sound now, while there is still time to notice a quiet setting.
Once the house is secured at 10:23 pm, avoid turning the rest of the evening into repeated trips outdoors. Put a torch, shoes and a jacket beside the door, then make one final check before settling down. Finishing the practical work in a single round leaves more of the night available for sleep, while keeping anything needed for a later check within easy reach.
Common questions
Will the alarm sound if I switch to another tab?
It can, as long as the alarm page stays open and the browser continues running. Device sleep, a flat battery, silent mode, blocked browser audio, or Bluetooth connected elsewhere may prevent you hearing it. Test the tone first and use a second alarm for anything consequential.
Does daylight saving change the alarm time?
The alarm follows the clock and time zone reported by your device. Clocks move forward in September and back in April, so confirm the displayed date and time after a change. Check overseas invitations carefully because other places may change clocks on different dates or not at all.
Can the alarm account for a public holiday or Matariki?
No. It sounds at the time you set and does not read school terms, regional anniversary days, Matariki dates, or public-holiday transport schedules. Check the relevant calendar and live operator timetable, particularly when a weekday service may be running less often.
Why might I not hear the alarm?
The tab may have been closed, the device may have slept or lost power, or audio may be muted, blocked, or routed to another speaker. Keep the page open, test browser permissions and volume, and use a separate dependable alarm if waking or meeting the time is critical.
