Find overlapping days across two datetime variables

Hey there,

I have two datetime variables "Hot_days (520x1)" and "Drought_days (1974x1)" that lists days since 2009 which experienced hot and dry conditions respectively. Now I would like to find the days that experiened BOTH dry and hot conditions. In other words, I would like to find the days that overlap with each other across the two different datetime variables.

Thank you in advance!

%random data
dt1=datetime(2022,6,1):datetime(2022,7,27); %1st June to Today
dt2=datetime(2022,7,1):datetime(2022,9,1); %1st July to 1st September
intersect(dt1,dt2) 

ans = 1×27 datetime array
   01-Jul-2022   02-Jul-2022   03-Jul-2022   04-Jul-2022   05-Jul-2022   06-Jul-2022   07-Jul-2022   08-Jul-2022   09-Jul-2022   10-Jul-2022   11-Jul-2022   12-Jul-2022   13-Jul-2022   14-Jul-2022   15-Jul-2022   16-Jul-2022   17-Jul-2022   18-Jul-2022   19-Jul-2022   20-Jul-2022   21-Jul-2022   22-Jul-2022   23-Jul-2022   24-Jul-2022   25-Jul-2022   26-Jul-2022   27-Jul-2022
