Am german. We do not have a word for this either. It’s just raining.
Of course you can always make one up due to how our language works, but that’s just to dumbfound Americans online.
Doch, dh ja Sonnenregen!
Nachtregen, Abendschauer, geht alles!
Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!

The devil is married?
To a women no less
"His wife" could be a....let's say, "euphemism" for something else. In which case, that ain't rainwater falling.....

A few minutes before the services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.
Soon everyone had exited the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seeming oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.
So Satan walked up to the old man and said, "Don't you know who I am?" The man replied, "Yep, sure do."
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.
"Nope, sure ain't," said the man.
"Don't you realize I can kill you with a word?" asked Satan.
"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone.
"Did you know that I could cause you profound, horrifying, physical AGONY... for all eternity?" persisted Satan.
"Yep," was the calm reply.
"And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.
"Nope."
More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you afraid of me?"
The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for the last 48 years!!..
I’m from the Deep South. You couldn’t tell by my accent. I moved away for college and lived overseas and on both coasts. I didn’t know what a “sun shower” was until I was in my mid/late twenties and said “the devil is beating his wife” in front of my friends. That’s the only term for it I had ever heard up to that point.
damn. i was like 55% certain that this was a shitpost and no one actually said that until i read your comment. we almost got a shitpost on c/shitpost. maybe it's not too late to get a meme on c/meme

Devil beating his wife sounds deep south as fuck...
This is a terrific example of where a choropleth (Ideally by county) would have been much more effective than a heat map.
It's worth noting that the Times released this tool a decade ago. IIRC, around 2015 there was also a push for better colorblind friendly color palettes, especially on the heat map space (I remember watching a matplotlib demo, maybe, with viridis support). While there's many visualization practices we do better at now, and while this could be due for a redux, I still think it"s one of the interactives to date. It's an OG for sure.

Fuck yeah let's convert some sunlight to .. oh you said.. nevermind
I grew up in the CA bay area and always called them sunshowers. I didn't make that up: I called them sunshowers when I was a kid because the people around me called them sunshowers.
As an aside, I also taught linguistics at the university level for about 10 years. I do question the accuracy of many of Katz's charts because they very often do not match people's expectations, and beyond the level of "you expected this because you didn't know any better". I would take them with a grain of salt. That's not really a dig on Katz, either: difficult to study anything at this scale.
Same for AZ. This map sucks.
I believe it's a Golden Shower
no, that’s just a golf resort in South Florida and one hotel room in Moscow.
I think we first have to introduce some parts of the western half of the country with this term called "rain".
In russian we have a phrase "грибной дождь" (mushroom rain) for light warm rain in the sunshine.
It's the best weather for mushroom growth and is therefore a sign to go harvest them in the woods soon.

I'm Florida we call it 4pm.
What is this "rain" you speak of.
Hello southwest
Professor: And Josh what is your thesis about?
Josh: Urrmmmm ahh umm What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
Professor: Josh youre studying statistics.
Josh: Yeah, naw Im going to graph it.
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
Meanwhile, me and my siblings: "It's raining sunshine!"
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.
Verizon coverage map links up with this data. Coincidence??
This map is inaccurate. I'm from Arizona and "sunshower" is commonly used 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.
