Subseasonal forecasting is the task of predicting the climate of a region between 2-8 weeks in advance. Weather and seasonal prediction which focus on forecasting climate 1-7 days and 2+ months in advance respectively have already received significant attention and are considered easier prediction problems than the subseasonal scenario <ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=He|first=Sijie|last2=Li|first2=Xinyan|last3=DelSole|first3=Timothy|last4=Ravikumar|first4=Pradeep|last5=Banerjee|first5=Arindam|date=2020-06-24|title=Sub-Seasonal Climate Forecasting via Machine Learning: Challenges, Analysis, and Advances|url=http://arxiv.org/abs/2006.07972|journal=arXiv:2006.07972 [cs, stat]}}</ref>.
