Roundcat, 
Meanwhile, me and my siblings: “It’s raining sunshine!”
MossyFeathers, I’ve mostly heard some variation on sunshower in Texas because while they’re not common, they’re not super rare either. We also rarely get “sun-derstorms” (dunno what else to call it) in Texas.
ItsMyFirstDay, Monkey’s wedding.
anarchyrabbit, I thought this was the only one. TIL…
Crapattf2, In the UK , well the part of the UK I live in we say “it’s a monkey’s birthday”
Well more actually most of the time we don’t say anything about it all
glibg10b, Fox marries Wolf’s wife
Rheios, 
I hadn’t heard the Wolf’s wife part, but I’d always heard said that it was a “Fox’s wedding”. Which is pretty similar. I’ve heard sunshower and that “The Devil’s beating his wife” but the fox one was more fun so it stuck with me.
Caketaco, 
Verizon coverage map links up with this data. Coincidence??
Psythik, This map is inaccurate. I’m from Arizona and “sunshower” is commonly used here.
QuinceDaPence, Yup. SE Texas and it's "Devil is beating his wife" here.
Donjuanme, I guess Hawaiian sunshine is just a thing my family uses…
SharpMaxwell, 
green, I dont live anywhere near that area tho, i just remember someone talking about it online when i was young and it stuck with me
Lexica, 
Theodd1sout maybe?
Ackerthegod, In South Africa I remember growing up thinking it was called a monkeys wedding.
bauhaus, 
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
skunk, 
I’ve always called it liquid sunshine
ivanafterall, 
That sounds like a euphemism for pee.
MrQuallzin, That’s what I say as well up here in the Pacific Northwest
Genrawir, Apparently I’m from an area that uses sunshower, but I’ve always heard it called the devil beating his wife
MooseLad, We’ve always called them sunshowers, but according to the map we’re in an area that has no name for it.
ox0r, 
Where I’m from we say it is ‘carnival in hell’
