Which radars cover Haivana Nakya?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEMX (Tucson, AZ), about 64 miles east. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Haivana Nakya | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEMX Tucson, AZ | 64 mi east | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KIWA Phoenix, AZ | 89 mi north | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KYUX Yuma, AZ | 175 mi west-northwest | 23,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
