Use a smoothing algorithm such as:
SmoothValue = ( JumpyValue + K * SmoothValue ) / ( K + 1 )
where K is a smoothing constant, eg 10 or 100. The bigger the K, the
smoother the result, but the bigger the lag. But as temperatures don't
change very quickly, the lag does not usually matter.

| Sorry if this is old news guys, but I finally got my temp sensor working! But I was wondering how I can keep the value from jumping around. I used one of those sensitive thermistors that you can order through Mouser Electronics. (26 years ago, 4-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
