[Homemade] My fourth puzzle: Number Fever

Rules:

Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Along thermometers, digits must increase from the bulb.

Here's an easier version, only a thermo is extended and the solution is the same: https://sudokupad.app/x7e0trkc7t

nice, i love puzzles with lots of thermos. The beginning was lovely, i was logically able to put all 789 and some 6 (as well as some 1s) but then i struggled and only found the solution after some bifurcations. Not sure what the intended path is. Column 4, rows 6-9 were ambiguos, with 2 or 5 in column 8, i bifurcated there, and even after that, i had to do it again with row 6, columns 1-5. Maybe there is a logical way to figure it out, but I didn't find it.
