I have been looking on the internet and found nothing for getting readings of the temperatures of the CPU on the Raspberry Pi.

Im using Raspbian (Wheezy).

Any help would be great for everyone!

    reading /sys/class/thermal_zone0/temp does not require no graphs nor jquery

I found an answer at http://www.raspberrypi.org forums. You can read the CPU temp via bash script. Save this script as getTemp.sh in /usr/local/bin folder and give execute permission with chmod +x /usr/local/bin/getTemp.sh command. Then run it, you will get temp values.

#!/bin/bash
cpuTemp0=$(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp)
cpuTemp1=$(($cpuTemp0/1000))
cpuTemp2=$(($cpuTemp0/100))
cpuTempM=$(($cpuTemp2 % $cpuTemp1))

echo CPU temp"="$cpuTemp1"."$cpuTempM"'C"
echo GPU $(/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp)
