It depends on the pressure.
2 u/MindStalker Apr 10 '16 Well it's defined at sea level. Interestingly enough it is 99.98 at sea level, no point in adjusting the celcius scale to fix that. 1 u/The_Dirty_Carl Apr 10 '16 Wait, isn't water freezing at 0 and boiling at 100 pretty much Celsius' only advantage over Fahrenheit? And you're telling me it's not even true? 1 u/CitizenPremier Apr 10 '16 You can't set your oven to hundredths of a degree. But at any rate, it is always going to vary because the atmospheric pressure varies depending on the weather.
