Given that fine means it must be dry but dry doesn't necessarily mean
it's fine, I imagine 'dry and fine' would be OK.

But 'dry' is the broader and more emcompassing term.
So if you say that first you can add 'fine' second to
indicate that as being a subset of dry days.
Such nuances will be lost on the general public of course
