I plotted the data from 2000 to 2015, and the short-term trend is certainly
there, particularly from 2011 to 2015, where a 0.2 degree increase was
recorded. However, there was an even larger 0.5 degree increase from 1887
to 1889 which was countered the very next year.

I think it's quite reasonable to have a blip in the data for a few years
after the eruption of Karakatoa in August 1883.You can certainly see its
effect from 1884 onwards.

That would explain a downward trend, but then what caused the big RISE in the
1887-1889 period followed by another drop?

Besides, volcanoes are ALWAYS erupting:

Volcanoes are always erupting but not as big as Krakatoa. This type of
atmospheric disturbance lasts years and causes erratic changes.
