Of course. It's constantly adjusted.

Link is the 1997 global analysis summary from NOAA/NCDC.
ncdc.noaa.gov
"The global average temperature of 62.45 degrees Fahrenheit for 1997 was the warmest year on record, surpassing the previous record set in 1995 by 0.15 degrees Fahrenheit."

Geez. They are a broken record. Fast-forward to 2014.
ncdc.noaa.gov
"The year 2014 was the warmest year across global land and ocean surfaces since records began in 1880. The annually-averaged temperature was 0.69°C (1.24°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F), easily breaking the previous records of 2005 and 2010 by 0.04°C (0.07°F)."

Lets do some math. 57.0F+1.24F = 58.24F. How is this warmer than 62.45F in 1997? Easy, NOAA/NCDC has cooled 1997 by several degrees.
