Set the alarm for 3:03 a.m.

Web alarm clock for 3:03 a.m.

While preparing well ahead of the typhoon’s approach, you can set the 3:03 am alarm as the moment to close every window before stronger wind and rain arrive. That leaves time to check the latches, clear anything resting on the sills, and move safely through the house before 4:00 am. Keep a flashlight nearby in case the power is already unstable.

Your window-closing reminder may stay reliable while you read PAGASA updates or message family, provided the alarm page remains open in the same browser. A tab sent to the background will usually keep counting, though some phones may restrict it after a while. If the browser is closed or the phone goes to sleep, the windows alarm may make no sound, so use a built-in backup alarm for this weather task.

Because people in the house may be sleeping at 3:03 am, decide beforehand who will handle each room and which windows require two people. Set a gentle first alert for those already awake, with a separate phone alarm for anyone responsible for another floor. Place slippers and flashlights where everyone can reach them without crossing dark rooms, and close bedroom windows quietly before checking shared areas.
