Short summary
Weather forecasts weeks to months ahead, called subseasonal forecasts, help communities prepare for floods or droughts but are hard to make accurately. We tested a method called relaxation, which nudges parts of a model to see how different regions affect predictions. Using two machine learning models and a traditional model, we found the machine learning models performed better. Relaxation offers a simple, low-cost way to improve future forecasts.
