"kyou mo atsui ha..."
Actually, it's: "Today's hot too, huh/right..." or, "Today is also hot, huh/right...?"
"Kyou mo atsui na..." not "ha..."
The "na" acts like an...um...affirmitive question (where you expect agreement with your statement). So it can be taken as, "right?," "huh?" "ain't it," "isn't it?" etc.

Kinda like "ne", but somehow different... :3
FANservice :3
You actually described usage for "ね" (ne). When you use "な" (na), you don't expect anyone to agree with you. You just state something (in this case: "Today's hot too."). I can't find the right words to explain the function of this particle in detail, I just feel what it means.StahnAileron said:

It's a localized dialect thing, actually. "Ne" is the typical, Tokyo-style in most cases. "na" I think I hear more in Kansai dialect or from Hokkaido.
Though I think I see what you mean. Since this is text and not spoken, I don't think any of us can say for sure without asking the artist for his/her intented meaning. ^_^

Meh, these particles have nothing to do with dialect (as for Kansai-ben you perhaps mean "ya" at the end of nearly every sentence, personally I don't know how they came up with it, it's just one of their speech patterns (?)).
Check some japanese textbook (can't recommend any, I'm Czech).;)

We're off-topic (sorta), but textbooks NEVER deal with local dialects and actual speech patterns people sometimes use. They only cover typical (and hopefully correct) usage patterns.
Take english, for example: a non-native speaker may understand "normal" english. Start talking in slang or a dialect and you'll probably confuse the crap out of them.
I took a year of JPN in HS and I lived in JPN for 6 years. (Been watching anime for regularly 15 years.) Textbook learning will only get you so far. (Great for the basics like structure, grammar, and vocab, though.)
