Not true, if you go by the Köppen climate classification system Southern California is Csa (Mediterranean warm summer) and the PNW is Csb (Mediterranean cool summer) both clearly in the same climate group.
Europe is more more diverse in terms of climate classification but Spain is split between Csa and Csb and most of Northern Europe is Cfb (Oceanic) which is still in the C group of temperate climates.
Substantially different would be something like the change from arid to tropical or tundra / polar climates like in South America and Africa.
