    Anyone know the reason(s) for the seemingly increasing number of brownouts in Dumaguete at the present time. We had 4 last night in Talay.

    Is this the new norm?

    I don't know why they are called brown outs. They are black outs and they always happen more often in the rainy season. We used to have brown outs in California which meant we had limited power but the lights would still be on.

    Brownout noun
    the elimination of some or reduction of all electric lights of a city, especially as a precaution against attack in time of war.

    any curtailment of electric power, as by a severe storm

    Blackout noun ....the extinguishing or concealment of all visible lights in a city, military post, etc., usually as a precaution against air raids.

    a period during a massive power failure when the lack of electricity for illumination results in utter darkness except from emergency sources, as candles.
