In order to utilize the rain intensity value from a table for the current real-time date and time in MATLAB, first ensure the table is imported into MATLAB using 'readtable' function. After obtaining the current date and time using the 'datetime' function, date, month of the year and time can be obtained separately leveraging 'datestr' function. Refer to the following documentation of 'datestr' to know more about different date formats: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/datetime.datestr.html
Here is a code snippet explaining the functionality
% Get the current date and time
currentDateTime = datetime('now');
% Extract and format the desired components
dateStr = datestr(currentDateTime, 'dd');
monthStr = datestr(currentDateTime, 'mmmm');
hourStr = datestr(currentDateTime, 'HH');
minStr = datestr(currentDateTime, 'MM');
disp("Day: " + dateStr + " Month: " + monthStr + " Hour: " + hourStr + " Min: " + minStr);
Finally logical indexing can be used to compare the date and time columns to the current date and time. Once the specific row is identified, extract the rain intensity value and use it in the desired equation.
