If I read link this correctly, the "is" here is more like "is currently" and not "is over the long term"; there's a large fire in the Columbia Gorge, with winds blowing the smoke to Portand. I grew up in Miami. Every once in a while there would be a news blurb about how it was warmer in Anchorage than Miami. "Miami is colder than Anchorage" is both true and false, "depend[ing] on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."
