a) Today is as hot as yesterday.
b) It is as hot today as yesterday.
c) It is as hot today as it was yesterday.
d) Today, it is as hot as yesterday.
e) Today, it is as hot as it was yesterday. |

Sentence C is the best of the five. The others are acceptable. A and B are better than D and E, but I'd omit the comma after "Today".
