No, under normal atmospheric conditions, ordinary water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at sea level. This is the temperature at which the liquid water transitions into water vapor, with the vapor pressure equaling the atmospheric pressure.

To make water boil at a lower temperature than its normal boiling point, you would need to reduce the surrounding pressure. When the pressure is decreased, the boiling point of water also decreases. For example, at higher altitudes where atmospheric pressure is lower, water boils at temperatures lower than 100 degrees Celsius. In locations such as the top of a mountain, where the atmospheric pressure is significantly reduced, water can boil at temperatures well below 100 degrees Celsius.

However, it is important to note that altering the boiling point of water requires changes in pressure rather than temperature. At normal atmospheric pressure, 95 degrees Celsius would not be sufficient to make ordinary water boil; it would still remain in the liquid state.
