“Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at sea level.”
HIGH CONFIDENCE
TL;DR ·Water boils at 100 °C (212 °F) at standard sea-level atmospheric pressure.
The claim is accurate. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service states that at sea level, water boils at 212 °F and that the boiling point falls as atmospheric pressure decreases with elevation . 212 °F equals 100 °C. Britannica gives the same figure: 100 °C (212 °F) at sea level, lower at higher altitudes . Other sources agree, including a physical science textbook explanation tied to 1 atm pressure and the Pew Research Center, which notes that the boiling point is 100 °C (212 °F) but varies with conditions such as altitude . The only caveat is that this holds at standard pressure (1 atm). Actual weather-related pressure shifts can change the boiling point very slightly, which does not undermine the claim as stated. The sea level rise and photo fact-checks are unrelated to boiling point.
