The central solar temperature T and its uncertainties are calculated in helioseismologically-constrained solar models. From the best fit to the convective radius, density at the convective radius and seismically determined helium abundance the central temperature is found to be T=1.58x10^7 K, in excellent agreement with Standard Solar Models. Conservatively, we estimate that the accuracy of this determination is Delta T/T=1.4 %, better than that in SSM. Neutrino fluxes are calculated. The lower limit to the boron neutrino flux, obtained with maximum reduction factors from all sources of uncertainties, is 2 sigma higher than the flux measured recently by SuperKamiokande.
