You always estimate one more digit than you can read from the lines. Mercury thermometers give more significant digits, but they have fallen out of favor due to safety concerns when they (inevitably) break. This means that we can only read 3 significant digits for temperatures between 10 and 99.9 ☌, and we only get 2 significant digits for temperatures between 0 and 9.9 ☌.
