Climate

Climate typeClimate typePAGASA sorts the country's climate into four types by when the rain falls. Type I has a dry season from November to April and a wet one for the rest of the year; Type II has no dry season, with the most rain from December to February; Type III has a short dry season; Type IV has rain spread through the year.More in the glossary

Type I[30]

Two seasons: dry from November to April, wet for the rest of the year, with the heaviest rain from June to September.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 16 of every 100 people lived below the poverty line in 2021.
Poverty, 2021Poverty incidenceHow many of every 100 people live in families whose income is below the poverty line: what a person needs in a year for food and other basic needs, as the PSA sets it for each province. It is an estimate, from a survey or, for a town, a statistical model, so the PSA gives a range it is likely to fall in.More in the glossary
16.2% of people[18]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.
Income classIncome classThe Department of Finance sorts provinces, cities and municipalities into classes by their average yearly income over recent years: 1st class has the most. It measures the local government's income, not how well off its people are.More in the glossary
1st class[4]
About 16 of every 100 people in Arayat lived below the poverty line in 2021 (16.2%)[18]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 13.0% and 19.4%, with 90% confidence.

The PSA rates this estimate's reliability as acceptable rather than high: read it as a guide.

History & Identity

Its story

Augustinian friars set up a priorate at Arayat in the early 1590s, according to a chronicle of the order, which calls it the farthest corner of Pampanga.[9]

In 1903 the Philippine Commission merged the neighbouring municipality of Santa Ana into Arayat, with the town of Arayat as the seat.[10]

Timeline

  1. 1590

    An Augustinian chronicle says a priorate (a mission house with resident friars) was set up at Arayat during the term of the provincial elected on 22 May 1590. It describes Arayat as in the farthest corner of Pampanga.[9]

  2. 15 October 1903

    Act No. 943 cut Pampanga from 23 municipalities to 17. Arayat took in the municipality of Santa Ana, and Arayat remained the seat of government.[10]
