fixing timezone to UTC #13

Closed azrael417 closed 2 weeks ago

This small PR fixes the timezone in the datetime.datetime objects to UTC timezone.

This is especially relevant when the cosine zenith angle is used as conditioner. While the model can learn to deal with wrong temporal offsets, not specifying a timezone can lead to hard to debug errors when training is run in one timezone and inference in another.
