Thermos Construction
Rules:
Divide the grid into nine orthogonally-connected regions, each containing nine cells. Each row, column and region must contain the digits 1 to 9, once each. Digits increase along a thermometer starting from the bulb end. Furthermore, for any given thermometer, each cell on that thermometer is in a different region. For a digit in a circle, it indicates exactly how many circles contain that digit. Furthermore, each circle is part of a different region.
Solution code: Row 3 followed by row 7.

beautiful puzzle, intricate region building, and some disambiguation steps that popped out of nowhere.
