No. Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form. There are little whirlwinds called dust devils, however. They look somewhat like tornadoes but are much weaker and usually harmless.

Can you get a tornadoes when it is sunny?

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.
