I would start with

gdalinfo /home/jamaas/research/ra1188uea/Enigma/Rainfall_data/BC_GB_daily.nc

To see what the dataset contains exactly, especially which bands are 
available.

As you can see in the wiki page that Thomas linked to, netCDF has a 
particular syntax in gdal, as netCDF files can contain subdatasets which 
in return contain bands. See also [1] for details.
