Exact same level? If you ran a tad overfull vs. now, that means less surface area for heat transfer.
Hotter weather? If it's been a few months since last oil change, keep in mind it's getting hot out as summer rolls on.
Harder driving than usual following an oil change? if you were flooring it/driving at high speeds for an extended time, you may have just generated more heat than you typically do.
Finally, What brand/weight of oil? Some probably do run a bit hotter than others. Doesn't necessarily mean it's not doing its job, tho'.
