It appears that the colors represent the difference between the Jan 1 temperature and the average temperature 1991-2020 for January. I was confused at first too, there shouldn’t be 20C temps in the arctic circle.

It’s the temperature difference between that day and the average for January. So that area is much hotter than average, but not necessarily hotter than most of Russia on that day
