MATLAB: How to select discrete data from continuous time-series data

continuous datadiscrete data

I have discrete temperature observations and a continuous rainfall timeseries. I want to select rainfall values from a continuous timeseries corresponding to date of discrete observations. How could I do this in matlab?
Here is example data
Discrete observations Continuous timeseries data
Date Temperature Date Rainfall
11/02/1994 08:40 32 1/02/1994 08:40 10
22/03/1994 08:40 29 – –
20/04/1994 08:50 29 – –
17/05/1994 08:40 25 – –
11/06/1994 08:40 24 – –
27/07/1994 08:50 29 31/07/1994 08:40 21
Thanks in advance for help.

Try something like the following code if you have the data in the form of a table.
temp_value = 29; % get all rainfall values for temperature equal to 29
idx = T_temp.Temperature == 29; % T_temp is the table with discrete temperature value
rain_fall = T_rain.Rainfall(idx);
