I think it means, compared to other videos of the same length, the hot
side of the graph says you are retaining more viewers than average
and/or viewers are rewinding a watching those sections again. The cold
side of the graph represents where, compared to other videos of the
same length, people are skipping forward or clicking away more than
average.

From the hot spots page on my video:
"The ups-and-downs of viewership at each moment in your video,
compared to videos of similar length.
Above the average line, your video is hot: it's retaining more viewers
than average and they may be rewinding to watch that point again.
Below the average line, your video's gone cold: viewers are not
rewinding or may be leaving the video faster than the average."
