The parent's link doesn't contradict the headline, indeed it backups up the headline shows that the coastal weather of BC is 10F higher than continental highs in the 30s
There's no evidence to say that the 1930s were higher in the Pacific North West (which reached a high of 105 in 1935), or that it's ever been 110, let alone 115
Portland reached 116F recently
