Morphology
The meaning 'a day when the sun is shining' is directly and compositionally derived from 'sunny' (bright with sunlight) + 'day' (period of daylight). This straightforward adjective + noun combination is cross-linguistically common and would be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The phrase sunny day paints a simple picture: the sunny sky lights the whole day, making it warm and bright. That's why it means 'a day when the sun is shining and there are few or no clouds'.
