Why the difference?
Very simple, temperature difference and contamination can cause such drifting. Most pH buffers are designed to be calibrated at 25deg C, as their pH is dependent on temperature. However room temperature should be good enough for our usage.

Probe contamination from different buffer solution, distilled water and dilution of buffer solution can cause pH readings to drift. Do not be paraniod over this, its normal.
