Perhaps 100c at sea level but less at higher altitudes. For that matter only if it is "pure".
Water: H2O as a liquid
Ice: H2O as a solid
Steam: H2O as a gas
Water is wet because it is a liquid. Once water ceases to be a liquid (i.e. solid or gaseous) it is no longer wet.
Just random thoughts off the top of my head. I reserve the right to be mistaken, wrong, off-topic or otherwise blowing smoke.
