If today�s temperature is as high as yesterday�s temperature, which of the following sentences is possible? Or can we say all of them?

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".
