As atmospheric pressure decreases, water boils at lower temperatures. At sea level, water boils at 212 °F. With each 500-feet increase in elevation, the boiling point of water is lowered by just under 1 °F

Air pressure affects the temperature at which water boils to such an extent that the boiling times must be increased when cooking at higher altitudes. Because water boils at a lower temperature at higher elevations, water comes to a boil faster, but a longer boiling time is needed to cook food.
