No; you are not missing anything.

However, what you are "feel"ing is CLIMATE CHANGE which, in turn, is leading to GLOBAL WARMING.

To understand all this, you have to know what is CLIMATE?:

Climate refers to the overall weather of a location over a long period of time. Climate and Climate Change is determined by many things including distance from the equator, closeness to an ocean or major body of water, and geographical conditions such as mountains, plains and forests. There are 12 distinct types of climates on our planet, ranging from tropical to polar.

Climate Change has become a frequently discussed issue over the past years. Climate Change can be caused by internal and external forces like the Earth’s orbit, solar radiation and Greenhouse Gas concentrations.

The ice age is an example of Climate Change. Recently, the focus of our concern is the effect humanity is having on the climate.

Researchers are debating as to whether the cause of our current Climate Change is because of humans or radiative forcing. Resources are also being used to find methods of climate control. The only ways we hope to impact our climate is to refrain from pollution, recycle and stop using the natural resources at the rate we are.

Global warming is about long term trends, it doesn't mean that each day will be progressively warmer than the previous one or even that each year will become progressively warmer.

There are a huge number of things that influence the weather and whilst it may not be all that warm where you are it's been considerably warmer than normal where I am. These are just weather events and are dictated by local, short-term factors and by themselves are meaningless.

When weather patterns are averaged out over long periods of time (upwards of 30 years) that's what gives us the climate. It's these long periods of time and the trends apparent within them that indicate changes in the climate. One such trend being that of a warming planet and hence the term 'global warming'.

Even on a year by year basis the changes are small, temps are presently rising by an average of 0.0177°C, this is slower than temps would normally rise or fall in a single minute during an average day.
