Absolutely not, never. Don't do it. Not for a kitten, not for a full-grown cat.

Absolutely not OP!!
Sure, it's hot, but imagine what would happen if she fell down. It's a myth that cats always land on their feet and thus cannot get injured.
Bring her in this instant.

cats can easily claw through that going after a bird... we had friends in NYC on the 20th floor or so. as their daughter told my mother years ago, "we had a kitty but she flew away" (went after a bird and fell 20 stories).
Terrible idea to leave the cat out there or even leave alone in apt. w/ a screen door or window large enough to get through.

I caught a kitten that fell from a 3rd floor balcony one time. It started to deliberately jump (yes, to the ground) and changed its mind at the last second but there was enough momentum to make it lose its balance and fall. If I hadn't caught it it would have landed on concrete.

Would you trust a rambunctious 4 month old kitten on a 4th floor balcony? It's fairly small (maybe 30 square feet) and the railing is large glass panels held in metal frames. There is about a 4" gap between the bottom of the metal frame and the floor of the balcony, and a slightly larger one where the metal frame meets the side of the building.
It's SO hot in this apartment and I can't stand to keep the large sliding door closed any longer. But I'm scared she's going to accidentally jump over somehow. Right now she's out there chasing dried leaves.
