Normal Sudoku rules apply. Digits along (fast) thermometers must increase by at least 2 at a time, starting from the bulb end. The large colored ring is made of 5 normal thermometers glued tip-to-bulb (2 in the example). Travelling clockwise around it, digits must strictly increase, with no more than 5 exceptions.

After solving your Border Sum Pentominous, this puzzle actually seemed quite chill. I really enjoyed finding the beautiful break-in of this puzzle and it has several very cool and clever deductions throughout the solve. Thank you for constructing this beauty, Gliperal!

What a neat puzzle! Ridiculously cool opening trick finding what was initially restricted. And those fast thermos are a gift that keeps on giving to finally resolve things. Also, fjam gave me some help especially in the mid-solve - there is so much cool logic in this puzzle that I wasn't always on top of pencilmarking the ramifications of things I had figured out. Fascinating and fun from start to finish - thank you so much for sharing this!

A rare puzzle where I have absolutely no idea how the creator even began to have the idea. What an insanely unique break in! (…followed by an extremely challenging thermo sudoku)

Added examples to further clarify rules (hopefully).
