The boiling point of water is 100 degrees C, but only at sea level, or in other words, at an atmospheric pressure of 1013.2 millibars. As the altitude increases (or the pressure decreases, same thing), the boiling point goes down. This happens at the rate of about 1 degree C for every thousand feet of altitude gained or for every 35 millibars of pressure lost.

The boiling point of pure water is 100 0C at 760 mm col. Hg. ((101.325 kPa of atmospheric pressure). This is not a coincidence. The Celsius scale was originally defined around the boiling and freezing points of water.
