That's weird, because all the places I've traveled (in both US and EU) have had a clear rise in average temperature in the last 3 decades.

The country I live in has had the average temperature steadily rise by a full degree over the last 30 years. Which is visible in changes in flora and fauna and extreme weather.

Really makes me wonder where you get your data.

There were some unusual 'hottest on record' last year in the summer in some parts of Europe. But also there were a lot of 'coldest on record' in other places like the US and in Russia during the winter so it doesn't really mean much... This is bound to happen somewhere every year but you need to look at averages and try different years.
I mentioned average temperature twice in my comment, did you miss that? I looked at average temperatures for these locations over the last 100-ish years. Consistently all of these places rising averages. Below are some links to back that up.

If you disagree with this, please also provide some graphs that back up your observations.

Well, okay then, i will take your precise data as a fact. All these scientists with their fake-data must surely be liars.
That's why it's called climate change and not global warming. More extremes.
