Heard it called fox-rain.
It happens very frequently in Florida, I know of it as a sunshower. It not unheard of for your FoV to be filled with blue sky but it's actively raining... that is when people mention sunshower. I've heard the devil is beating his wife but only rarely.

Where I'm from we say it is 'carnival in hell'
From Northeastern PA, and yeah I immediately thought "oh, a sunshower?"
But yeah, the devil doesn't have a wife wtf
Well then who the hell is he beating?
I have a theory that this has a special name less frequently the further you get from the equator because it's a phenomenon that's less rare when the sun spends less time overhead
So it's from the French who took it from a poem about Greek gods. So the Christians stole from the pagans yet again lol.
Crazy that nearly every culture on earth has a name for it that's somehow related to animals getting married.
Wonder if they all stem from the same ancient folk tail or if it's just somehow convergence.
The devil what?!?
We always said it was the devil’s daughter was getting married.
I felt like I was taking crazy pills until I came across this comment. I've always heard this one instead of the "beating his wife" one.
I've also heard some variations of this one like "a witch is marrying the devil" or "a witch is getting married".
I personally call them sunshowers.
I've never heard any word or phrase for this, but sunshower just seems intuitive to me
What is the “other” here?
so, it’s New Yorkers that say this, and places New Yorkers go when we retire or can’t afford to live in NYC anymore.
lol
It’s always been, “The devil is getting married,” for me.
I've decided I hate the domestic violence one. One I heard a while back is "a monkey's wedding" and that has a much better mental image.
Sun shower here in PA
Wait. The Devil is above us doing an R Kelly? Does that mean god is in hell?
