The answer is that there was no measurement before about 1630 when a scale was first used. Before this there were what can be called thermoscopes, which used an enclosed column of air to show change in temperature, but these were also sensitive to barometric pressure, and no-one seems to have tried to devise a scale of temperature. When people say there was a warm period in the 1300's or whenever, this can only be deduced from records of what was grown, and tree ring records, and other such records.

With the advent of digital thermometers, the accessibility and convenience of monitoring temperature have increased.
How are mercury thermometers used today?

Why do OSHA and EPA and the AMA all discourage the use of mercury filled clinical thermometers?
When mercury filled thermometers break, the mercury is released. Mercury is toxic to people, pets and the environment. There is a long history of mercury from broken thermometers and other medical devices being improperly dealt with, or even ignored. Since there are adequate replacements for mercury thermometers, OSHA, EPA, AMA and others discourage the use of mercury thermometers and encourage their replacement with thermometers using other technologies.
