What you wrote in English is closer to: Fue un día caluroso en la tarde al principio del verano.

Would I format the sentence like this to include sunday? - leesama, May 19, 2013
Yes. Sorry, I just wrote "día" instead of "domingo". To use imperferct or pretérito for "ser" would depend on context - 005faa61, May 19, 2013

Great job! However, JulianChivi, the sentence you suggested would be correct if instead of "fue", which is preterite, you used "era", which is imperfect and the correct form for the sentence.
