IMD High resolution 1.0 By 1.0 degree gridded daily temperature data (1951-2018)*.
This data is arranged in 31x31 grid points.
Lat 7.5N, 8.5N ... 36.5, 37.5 (31 Values).
Long 67.5E, 68.5E ... 96.5, 97.5 (31 Values).
For leap years, data for 366 days are included.
The unit of tempereture is in Celcious.
* Gridded data for the year 2008 and onwards are based on relatively less number of stations
(around 180) for which data were received operationaly on real time basis.

* This program reads binary data for 365/366 days and writes in ascii file.
