Set the alarm for 2:45 a.m.

Web alarm clock for 2:45 a.m.

While you wait for the right moment to close the windows before the typhoon arrives, set the alarm for 2:45 am and keep an eye on the changing conditions outside. That gives you a clear cue to secure each room rather than repeatedly checking the clock as 3:00 am approaches. Keep a torch nearby so you can inspect the latches without switching on every light.

Your 2:45 am alert should suit the atmosphere in the house and the urgency of closing the windows. A softer tone may be enough if you are awake and watching the time, while a persistent sound makes sense if wind or rain could mask a gentle chime. Test the volume now, then leave this page active and keep your phone awake; otherwise, the browser alarm may stay silent and your window-closing cue could be missed.

Before stepping near an open window at this hour, notice whether humid air is blowing rain or fine spray indoors. Close the side facing the weather first, wipe any damp sill, and check that curtains or cords are clear of the frame. In a Philippine typhoon, conditions can shift during the night, so finish the remaining windows methodically and avoid lingering beside exposed openings.
