try not to let short-term fluctuations in temperature blind you to long-term trends. 1998 was unusually warm in large part because of the el nino weather system. some science organizations, including nasa's goddard institute for space studies say that 2005 was actually hotter by a few hundredths of a degree, if you want to get technical about it. regardless, it is a long-term trend.

also, on a tangent, you can't base your own conclusions and observations about a macro scale system when a day/week/season/some other minimal lenghth of time in your particular geographical area is colder or warmer than usual. i know how people like to do that.
