'un día' uses the indefinite article because you are talking about any day, not a specific one.

✕Common Mistakes
Es un día precioso, ¿no crees?
Use 'hace' for weather, not 'es'. 'Es un día precioso' sounds unnatural.
Hace un día hermoso, ¿no crees?
While correct, 'hermoso' can sound overly formal in casual talk; 'bonito' or 'precioso' are more common.
Hace un día precioso, no crees.
The tag must be a question; missing the opening '¿' changes the meaning.

Cultural Tip
Talking about the weather is a universal ice‑breaker in Spanish‑speaking cultures. In Spain and many Latin American countries, it’s common to add a tag question like '¿no crees?' or '¿verdad?' to keep the conversation flowing and show interest in the other person’s opinion. Remember that 'precioso' can sound a bit poetic; in everyday speech many people prefer 'bonito' or 'hermoso'.
