Temperature from command line
To find out the temperature, use:
# Ivybridge Intel i7-3630QM
$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp
69000
69000
67000
# Skylake Intel i7-6700HQ using paste after zone names
$ paste <(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/type) <(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp) | column -s $'\t' -t
INT3400 Thermal 20000
SEN1 53000
SEN2 49000
SEN3 53000
SEN4 55000
pch_skylake 70000
B0D4 47000

${hwmon 1 temp 1}°C
The display looks like this:
