It's a 2 season climate. There's no real spring or autumn weather.
In April, summer ends when you start getting waves of winter-like days.
May has plenty of winter-like days, and June onwards, mostly winter of course.
September is still as cold as June, and October is still colder than May.
Hence, half the year is winter by SW standards.
I would suspect summer is normally from the last week in October until at least the last week in March.
Here they are just bands of moisture within a low pressure system, that can be warm or cold, or both depending on how far north/south east/west they track. A warm front followed by a cold front within a day are common for this area. 3 or 4 days of bad weather followed by 10 days of good weather is a common pattern. WA is probably similar to that.
This type of slow change is weird to me, having 3+ days straight of bad weather, repeatedly.

The changes can be quick. Rain for a few hours, with a (often total) clearance, only to rain a few hours later. It can be like this for a week at times and see a mixture of warm and cold fronts. Good for sun showers and rainbows.
I would have thought Toronto would get plenty of spells of bad weather.
Try living in the UK COldCanadian, the "changes" take about 2 weeks. 2 weeks of complete overcast with drizzle followed by 2 weeks of biting northwest wind and showers with an hour of sun chucked in each day. That of course is the summer, not the winter which is far worse.

The climate of Buxton must be a million miles different than in Leeds.
Definitely Southwest WA weather is pretty nice in my opinion. Plenty of warm and sunny spells in the winter even if you get a few hours of rain now and again. It's certainly not like winter here where it seems like it rains almost every day and you hardly see the sun for months on end

Wow the Peak District area sounds great though where I was at this past winter (near Reading) the winter was snowy when I got there and it didn't drizzle except for the 3 days I was in London. Other than that, it was just plain cloudy. My only complaint is the sun rises too late and sets too early

It does flop back and forth, but it will do that for nearly a week, then a week or more with nothing. Both are very weird to me.
In Toronto autumn or winter, it's quite unusual to have more than 3-4 sunny days in a row, or more than 2 days with precip in a row.

Just when I thought UK climates couldn't be worse.
