I think there's a pretty noticable difference between the summers

Umea easily. If I have to pick between 38F and sideways rain and 20F and snow i’m going with the snow everytime. Not to mention the fact the Umea is sunnier and has better summers. Very easy choice.

I think there's a pretty noticable difference between the summers Not denying, Umea does have a better summer, ignoring the overlong days. But it's nowhere near enough to cancel out the endless winter. The climate of places like Umea is a major reason why the vast majority of Swedes live in the bottom third of the country.  |

I immediately thought that was some kind of deformed testicles. |

At that temp we would have brief showers usually snow or hail, sideways rain was not common in winter or at any time.. and due to its situation in a steep valley, Buxton is well sheltered from winds, one of its saving graces.. significant winter rain would come with mild tropical maritime air masses, typically. |

Buxton for me, umea has absolutely dreadful transition seasons, not the winter intensity I'm afraid of but how long it lasts is horrible. Buxton is just meh overall, but a more liveable climate as well. That being said, I'd still definitely prefer mpls with worse than umea winters in terms of temps to it, since there is an actual warm season. Even northern minnesota or the canadian prairies I'd consider over buxton, but not places with fake summers. Umea doesn't really look warmer in summer using more comparable intervals, just sunnier.
For that type of climate, it seems uninteresting as well. Buxton can still also get snow, and I find a mixture of rain and snow to be more to my preference during the winter season.

Buxton receives 28 snowy days annually, and frequently gets –3° to 0° C snowy weather during winter, so it's certainly wintry enough without being too cold. Not only that, but the sun's rays can actually be felt in Buxton by comparison to Umeå—the sun's rays are non-existant up at 64° N, and that is FACT.
That's more than enough reason for Buxton to thrash Umeå's terrible, everlasting cold.

Buxton is clearly better. Umea is much colder in winter, and that outweighs any of its advantages.

Umea is better in every possible way. Easy choice.

Buxton. Umeå is definitely better in summer, but it's such a brief season there, and with hardly any, or none at all, spring and autumn warmth. Winter is just way too long for me too.
By the second half of September, Umeå is more like our winter! We're still getting 25C days here, and can get plenty more 20C+ days for another month yet. September is too early to be thinking about winter, knowing the next time it could be warm is in April or May. That's a nope from me. Obviously I'm basing my opinion on what it's like in York, as I don't have a clue what it's like in Buxton.
Buxton is still shit though, and despite Weatherfan doing weird experiments in his bedroom to measure sun strength, nothing will change that.

Yeah I'll go with Buxton. Latitude wins with this one. Umea has 7-8 month winters, no thank you.
Also Buxton seems to have some pretty decent windspeeds.

A bit of a tough one as both climates are pretty bad, but Umea wins for way better seasonal variety and sunshine. Buxton's milder winters aren't worth it for the horrendous sunshine hours and endless monotonous wet misery most of the year.

Buxton is gross, but Umea is the worst climate inhabited by a forum member.

This is actually a great climate battle! I choose Umea for more continentality, though Buxton is a decent climate as well even if it is damp and gloomy for basically the whole year.

Both are heaps of crummery shit, but I'll take Buxton for its mild winters.

Umea as there I have something to look forward to at the end of the lackluster summer.
