China and the North Atlantic appears to have been warmer then normal. The middle east, central Asia and western Canada appears to have been cooler.
Have you ever heard of a thermometer? It reads temperatures not anomalies that is calculated and has nothing to do with cold or warm!
What i find interesting is the use of anomaly (which is the deviation from a mean average of a subjective set date range). In this case they take 30 years of the last 160 years of solar warming and warming from the last mini ice age which is all on the positive slope and claim that average is the norm.
The fear mongering about + or - from a subjective number is pure bull shit propaganda. If we wanted to know what the real range was all we have to do is look at the historical record of ranges in the long term.
The earth has a range of about 12 deg C. Today we are high center of the historical warm period range.

When we drop to the low center of the glacial cycle that is coming there will be great gnashing of teeth by the alarmist crowd. 90,000 years of cool... with an average temp 10-12 deg C lower than today...
IF you take slope #1 until today our current warm period has lasted some 14,500 years, which is long, in terms of interglacials. The average interglacial is just 11,500 years. We have been living on borrowed time for a long time.

Our fall into the next glacial cycle has already begun. The apex we have been enjoying for the last 20 + years will soon vanish. If solar physicists are correct we will begin to see the rapid drop in the next two or three years.
