The boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius at sea level. That means in most places this is the temperatures of boiled water. However, as you rise above sea level ...

Storm Ciaran's record-breaking low pressure meant the boiling point of water was below the crucial 100 degrees Celsius required for a decent cuppa.

Well, the problem here is the atmospheric pressure. At sea level, water boils at 100°C (or 212°F). That is the boiling point – but the boiling point is not a point at all.

Although I know that the boiling point of water varies with atmospheric pressure, I wasn't expecting a storm to take the boiling water temperature outside the recommended range for brewing decent tea.
