fix hardcoded text elements in the plots of the forecast class

@@ -63,6 +63,7 @@ Removed:
 - `util.lines_polys_handler` solve polygon disaggregation issue in metre-based projection [#666](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/pull/666)
 - Problem with `pyproj.CRS` as `Impact` attribute, [#706](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/issues/706). Now CRS is always stored as `str` in WKT format.
 - Correctly handle assertion errors in `Centroids.values_from_vector_files` and fix the associated test [#768](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/pull/768/)
+- Text in `Forecast` class plots can now be adjusted [#769](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/issues/769)
