Cumulonimbus clouds form when the atmosphere is unstable. One factor in an unstable atmosphere is a rapid temperature drop with increasing height. When the sun can shine directly on the ground it heats the lowest part of the atmosphere, which can lead to instability. Conversely, clouds block some of the sun's light from reaching the ground and tend to make the atmosphere more stable, which makes it harder for cumulonimbus clouds to form.

Why are cumulonimbus clouds more likely to form on a sunny day?
Cumulonimbus clouds develop in an unstable atmosphere, where temperature near the surface are high while they are much lower at higher altitudes. On sunny days, the sun heats the ground, which in turn heats the air just above it. On cloud days, much of the sunlight is blocked from reaching the ground, and the ground does not warm up as much.
