Is it your only one? Have you calibrated/checked accuracy? I recommend aquarium thermometers from walmart, they are cheap and usually quite accurate.

Okay.

That very well could be, thermometers have been known to be up to 5 degrees off!

Instructions for calibration:

Method 1: Ice Water
Fill a glass with ice cubes, then top off with cold water.
Stir the water and let sit for 3 minutes.
Stir again, then insert your thermometer into the glass, making sure not to touch the sides.
The temperature should read 32°F (0°C). Record the difference and offset your thermometer as appropriate.
