Today (it) is 104 degrees.

Hi,
I know words like "today" or "tomorrow" can be used as pronouns, so you say "Today is nice" or "It's nice today", but not "Today it's nice", you would have two subjects. I wonder if this applies to temperatures too:

Today (it) is 104 degrees in Las Vegas.

If you remember that "day" adverbs (yesterday, today, Monday, tomorrow, ...) go most naturally at the end of sentences, you won't run into the problem.
