We propose an accurate thermometry approach for Rydberg atom tweezer arrays combining data from correlation and local susceptibility measurements with a theoretical high-temperature expansion method for dynamic spin correlations. We apply our approach to a recent quantum simulation experiment [Bornet et al., arXiv 2602.14323] realizing an anti-ferromagnetic dipolar spin-1/2 XY model on the Kagome lattice. We obtain T = 0.55J and S/N = 0.67 ln2 for temperature and entropy respectively, showing that further experimental efforts are required to reach the putative quantum spin liquid regime.
