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. This makes the atmosphere unstable, which can lead to thunderstorms. There are also whirlwinds called dust devils that can form on hot, sunny days. These somewhat resemble tornadoes but they are not actually tornadoes.
