Online alarm clock for 9:13 pm
As you hand over the farm duties, set the 9:13 pm alarm so the next person knows when to check the evening MetService forecast. It creates a clear reminder during the changeover, while there is still time to discuss weather-sensitive jobs before 10:00 pm. Leave a brief note about which paddock or task needs attention, so the alarm has an obvious purpose for whoever takes over.
While the handover continues, this alarm page can sit behind the forecast or your farm notes rather than occupying the screen. Check that sound is allowed before moving it into the background, and keep the browser running on an awake computer or phone. If that setup is shut down or goes to sleep, the MetService farm forecast alarm will not sound, so use a separate clock alarm when the reminder cannot be missed.
Before stepping away for the evening, look at the light around the place where the forecast will be checked. At 9:13 pm, outdoor conditions in New Zealand vary markedly by season, and a dim shed or bright screen can make a quick handover awkward. Switch on a nearby light beforehand, angle the screen away from glare, and put any forecast notes where the incoming person can read them without searching.
Common questions
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.
Can I use the alarm as my signal to leave for a ferry or flight?
Yes, as a personal reminder, but it cannot see check-in requirements, queues, cancellations, Cook Strait wind, road closures, or delays on the way to the terminal. Confirm the operator's current advice and set the time with enough margin for the entire journey.
