Unboxed Thermos

Rules
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Consecutive Count: Clues outside the Sudoku grid indicate the amount of adjacent cell pairs containing consecutive digits, in their respective row or column (inside the grid only, resulting in a maximum of 8). Not all clues are given.
- Thermometers: Digits along a thermometer strictly increase starting from the bulb end. Some thermometers pass through consecutive count clues.

Note that the digits on the thermometers outside the grid are also consecutive counts.
Right. I added a clarification. ~L

Had to do some mental acrobatics to convince myself certain things worked. Quite difficult for me. Good puzzle.
Thank you. ~L

This confused me a lot, so here is the explanation for everyone:
The outside clues do not count for the pairs, and digits can belong to multiple pairs, ie if row 9 started (3)456, that would count as two pairs: (4,5),(5,6). (3,4) is not a pair since 3 is not in a sudoku cell.
Right. I added a clarification. ~L

was ist z.B. mit einer Folge 1-2-3-4
sind das dann 3 Paare (1/2; 2/3; 3/4) oder 2 (1/2; 3/4)
Das sind dann 3 Paare. ~L

Is the count for cells or for pairs? E.g. if there is a 23-pair would the count be 1 (pair) or 2 (cells)?
This woule be one pair. ~L
