Morphology

sunshiny + afternoon

The meaning 'an afternoon characterized by bright sunshine and pleasant weather' is directly and transparently derived from 'sunshiny' (having sunlight/cheerful) combined with 'afternoon' (the time from noon to evening). This simple adjective + noun composition follows standard, cross-linguistic patterns and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.

Etymology

The phrase sunshiny afternoon gives a simple picture: sunshiny means full of bright sun and afternoon is the later part of the day, so you imagine warm light and a pleasant sky. That's why it means 'an afternoon with bright sunshine and pleasant weather'.
