Description

When trying to load a dataset with `data_source.rcmed` where the time values don't fall on the first of the month the end time is not properly bounded.

Consider CRU31, where the day values fall on the 15th of the month. Notice that the returned end time is not properly bounded by the passed end time.

CRU31
Passed start time: 1901-02-01 00:00:00
Returned start time: 1901-02-15 00:00:00
Passed end time: 1901-04-01 00:00:00
Returned end time: 1901-04-15 00:00:00

However, on TRMM, where the time values fall on the first, the values are properly bounded.

TRMM
Passed start time: 1998-02-01 00:00:00
Returned start time: 1998-02-01 00:00:00
Passed end time: 1998-03-01 00:00:00
Returned end time: 1998-03-01 00:00:00
