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>.

* In [7], the authors show that MLmachine learning models can be applied generally to the subseasonal forecasting problem context and they highlight the potential for tailored models to make large improvements over existing methods.
* In [8], Hwang et al. develop and apply two distinct nonlinear regression models to the western United States, both of which outperform the baseline model significantly.
* In [10], Weyn et al. design a deep learning ensemble model that competes with, but does not outperform existing methods (i.e. the model in use by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Centre_for_Medium-Range_Weather_Forecasts ECMWF]). The proposed model is much more computationally efficient and this result suggests that the authors' research trajectory holds promise for surpassing the conventional methods.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Weyn|first=Jonathan A.|last2=Durran|first2=Dale R.|last3=Caruana|first3=Rich|last4=Cresswell-Clay|first4=Nathaniel|date=2021-02-09|title=Sub-seasonal forecasting with a large ensemble of deep-learning weather prediction models|url=http://arxiv.org/abs/2102.05107|journal=arXiv:2102.05107 [physics]}}</ref>
