I do not know whether it is what you seek, but, in my UbuntuMATE
16.04.x , in right clicking on an empty space in the panel, then
choosing "Add to panel", one option is Hardware Sensors Monitor, which
includes, it says, temperature, and, another option, is Notification
Area, which, when the set of icons next to the date and time,
disappeared, is what I think, caused the to return. One of the icons
there, is an image of a speaker, which, upon selecting, provides for
muting, and, for volume control.  CPU temperature is not something
that I seek, so, I am guessing that adding the Hardware Sensors
Monitor to the panel, would have a similar effect to the System
Monitor option, which starts with a single image for one system
monitor option (eg, memory usage), and then, clicking on it to change
the preferences, adds whichever options applicable to that applet, you
want displayed.

I am unsure of all of this (apart from what the speaker icon
provides), but, I hope that this is of some help.
