MANILA, Philippines—“Chedeng” (international name: Maysak) weakens into a tropical depression as it remains stationary on the eastern seaboard of Aurora province, the local weather bureau said early Sunday.

In its 5 a.m. weather bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said “Chedeng” is expected to remain quasi-stationary in the next six hours with maximum winds of 55 kph near the center.

“The estimated rainfall amount is from light to moderate within the 75 km radius of the tropical depression,” it said.

PS, that bad part is drought is expected, and brown outs are still in the pipeline .. come June/July !
