Boiling water is at 100C at standard pressure full stop. It is not affected by weather (humidity or air temperature). It is not affected by location unless your change of location involves a change in altitude which accompanying pressure change.
- im3w1l 7y agoAir pressure changes with weather. It's easily visible in old school barometers like http://www.4physics.com/phy_demo/pressure/baro_exp1.jpg http://www.4physics.com/phy_demo/pressure/baro_exp1.jpg It varies in a range of about +5% to -5% of average pressure.

But even that was not needed with Barometer’s dating back to 1643 and vacuum pumps originating in 1650 allowed for pressure calibration making the current weather unimportant. Anyway, I think people are vastly underestimating just how far scientists where calibrating things back then. Clock making for example cares deeply about the current temperature.
