Which is correct?
 
Today it is colder than yesterday.
Today is colder than yesterday.
I guess it �s the 1st one. What do you think?
THANKS in advance.

both are possible i think but with a small difference. Today, it is colder than yesterday or today is colder than yesterday.

I agree that both are possible.

If I was being really fussy, I would probably start the sentence with "it" in it with "it." Thus:
It is colder today than yesterday.

But in spoken English I think we would use any of the three variations.

Hope this helps.

Yes, all three are good, and with or without the comma that touria added. I agree with Julia that we would more likely begin the sentence with "It", if we were using that sentence.
