um (indefinite article)
Matches the masculine singular noun 'dia' and does not change with the adjective.
típico (adjective agreement)

The preposition 'de' is standard for expressing 'of' a month; 'em' would sound unnatural here.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, July falls in the middle of winter (especially in the southern states). Typical July days are cool, often rainy, and sometimes foggy. In the tropical north, July can still be warm, so "típico" may vary regionally. When speaking to someone from the south, mentioning "frio" (cold) is natural; in the north, you might refer to "chuvas" (rain) instead.
