It had to be a sunny day because the bomb had to be dropped from a high altitude so as not to endanger the bomber, and the only way to hit the target during that era was by sighting it through an optical bomb sight. After Hiroshima, the next city to be bombed was Kokura, but it was saved by heavy cloud cover, and Nagasaki was bombed instead.

Why was Pearl Harbor attacked without warning also? You will find online that we dropped leaflets over the cities before we destroyed them.

Why did you decide to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki during world war 2?
US bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki because they wanted to convince Japan to surrender fromg WW2. Also because during the war, Japan wasnt affected a lot compared to other places that joined the war. are you serious? I'm sure the Japanese people of the major industrial cities tend to disagree with this they were firebombed for months, Tokyo and Osaka were ashbowls. the real reason Nagasaki was bombed was because it was overcast in Kokura the original target. in actual fact, the Japanese, through the soviet union, tried to conditionally surrender in June 1945, a full 2 months before the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. the condition they wanted was that the emperor was to remain head of state and to retain its home islands. America flatly refused the offer and instead chose to continue the war a further two months, until japan unconditionally surrendered. an interesting footnote should be that upon signing the unconditional surrender japan was allowed to retain its emperor and retain its home islands.
