Position sums: clues outside of the grid tell you either the sum of the Ath and Bth digits in that row or column, or the sum of A and B in that row or column, where A and B are the first two digits in that row or column.
Thermo: numbers along thermometers must strictly increase, starting from the round bulb and going towards the tip.

“Too simple”? What a bizarre thing to say
I had tremendous fun with this puzzle, very good stuff indeed <3 — I’m such a sucker for Position Sums.

Too simple, I didn't even use the thermometer in the lower left corner.
[clover]: I'm sorry to say you're incorrect (did you perhaps make an assumption about what number went in the 'Ath + Bth' position above column 6?). The puzzle has quite a few valid solutions without the bottom left thermo :)
Ah? Did I misunderstand?
