Interpretation of [very sunny and cold]

(1a) It's very sunny and cold.

Some of my non-native English speaking friends and I think (1a) means "It's very sunny and very cold."

My other friends think it means "It's very sunny and it's cold."

Who is correct? Thank you very much.

It could mean either, but I think most native speakers would agree with you and your friends. If I wanted to be very clear, I'd say eg It's cold and very sunny / eg It's sunny and very cold. Clive
