I have rainfall data and that i need to convert it into Net Cdf so that i can extract values. or other than that, binary data can directly extract with some command. format is .trm.

Could you add a bit more information? Where did you get the .trm files? Do you have more information on these formats (for example, ask the source of these files)?

you can read directly binary file or .grd file in matlab
example :-
clear all;close all;clc;
f=fopen('IMDrainfall0.25x0.25-2018.grd','rb'); %open grd file
z1=[]; %create empty group file
for i=1:365 % i time 365 days
for j=1:129 % j longtitude 135
for k=1:135 % k latidue 129
a(i,j,k)=fread(f,1,'float32'); %read ONE numbers of type 32-bit floating point
end % end file
end % end file
z(:,:,:)=a(i,:,:); % z file arrears in a file
z1=[z1;z]; % create z1 file from z
clear z %clear z file
end % end for all files

What do you need help with? Reading a .trm file into a MATLAB variable? Writing that variable out to a netCDF file using ncwrite()?
