The Magical Thermometers

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
A quite ridiculously beautiful sudoku today from Jobo. Look how symmetrical the grid is!! You can fold it in half and only the given 2 and 4 would not exactly match. Moreover the logic baked into this one is sublime (and not too difficult). Give yourself a few minutes of joy and have a go!

Have a go at the puzzle here:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. All thermometers are slow thermometers, as well as region sum lines. ie Digits along these thermometers must either stay the same or increase from the bulb end; and box borders divide each blue line into segments with the same sum. eg r8c2 + r7c3 = r6c4. Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive. Not all dots are given.
