Not generally. Tornadoes can only form from thunderstorms. However, many tornadoes do form near the edge of a thunderstorm and in some cases the ground level circulation of the tornado can drift out from under the storm base, even though the tornado still connects to the parent storm.
There are some whirlwinds, namely dust devils, that form on clear days and look like tornado. But these whirlwinds are not actual tornadoes.

How can tornadoes form when it is a pretty day?
Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form. However, the day may be sunny before the thunderstorms develop. As the sun heats the earth it also heats the lower atmosphere.

These somewhat resemble tornadoes but they are not actually tornadoes.

Do tornadoes form in dry places?
Not necessarily. Tornadoes can form in most climates, but they depend on thunderstorms in order to form, which require moisture. The most tornado-prone region in the world is located on the Great Plains of the U.S., which have a relatively dry climate, but truly arid regions rarely see tornadoes. Tornadoes are not uncommon in the southeastern U.S., which has a moist climate. Deserts are prone to a type of whirlwind called a dust devil. Dust devils occur on sunny days and can look somewhat like tornadoes, but they are much weaker and are usually harmless.
Can tornadoes form when there are no clouds?
No. Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form and by definition the vortex of a tornado must connect with both the ground and the bottom of a cloud. However there is another kind of whirlwind called a dust devil. Dust devils look somewhat like tornadoes and typically form on hot, sunny days, especially in desert areas. However they are not considered tornadoes because they do not connect with the cloud base and are usually too weak to cause any damage.
