Remove Season #5

I do not think the definition of the season is very robust. I would just report the timestamp when the measurement was taken and then the user can figure out the season for themselves.

Agree re robustness but many users of the database are going to have basic technical skills. Something as simple as determining season from coords and datetime might be difficult for them to do. This is just a helper - I think it's okay to keep as long as users know how it was determined.

Okay, I am always afraid that people will use this data as ground truth without thinking about the possible implication and the somehow vagueness of this definition, but we can keep it.
