What is the boiling tempurate of water? I forgot. I have never been able to remeber it.

depends on the air pressure. At 14 lbs of air pressure it's 220 F. or 100 C. If you raise the pressure, like in a pressure cooker it can go WAY up. At high altitude you can put your hand in boiling water, and with no pressure, like in outer space, your blood is hot enough to boil.

That depends on where you call home!
At sea level water boils at 212ºF 100ºC
Heating water to boiling brings it to the same pressure as the atmosphere; it then changes from liquid to vapor, which bubbles up and breaks the surface. Boiling it harder or longer makes it no hotter; only atmospheric pressure alters the boiling point. At sea level, water boils at 212ºF At higher altitudes, where the atmospheric pressure is lower, water boils at a lower point and also evaporates faster.
Elevation Boiling Point
2,000' 208ºF
5,000' 203ºF
7,500' 198ºF
10,000' 194ºF
A lower boiling point may require adjustments in time, temperature, or amounts of ingredients when cooking foods in water and when canning foods at high altitudes.

The boiling point of water is 100 °C (212 °F) at standard pressure. On top of Mount Everest the pressure is about 260 mbar (26 kPa) so the boiling point of water is 69 °C.

At sea level, barometric pressure of 14.7 inches of mercury, the boiling point of water H2o is 212 degrees fehrenheit.

It's 212 degrees farenheit...

100C.
212F.
These are for pure water at standard temperature and pressure. Your results may be slightly different.
