Remove humidity comfort band or add reference #271

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Humidity limits have been removed from ASHRE 55 as there isn't an stablished limit for it, allowing thermal comfort to occur even under high humidity. Maybe there is evidence to define a lower limit, which involves direct health risks. The documentation does not provide reference for the proposed limits.

Describe the solution you'd like
My suggestion is to either remove this comfort range for humidity or include references in the documentation to justify the indicated values.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I consider either applicable, but otherwise more information or reference studies should be provided in the documentation to justify these limits.

Additional context
Students use the platform a lot and reach very misleading conclusions about their climates by analysing this graph out of context. The UTCI is a better way to assess the effect of humidity combined with other variables. My role is to further explain but having appropriate references and models make it much easier.
