Solivelle

SOH-lih-vel

Rain that falls while the sun is still shining; a gentle veiling of sunlight rather than its disappearance.

From Latin sol (sun) and velum (veil), suggesting sunlight softly covered, not extinguished.

Notes:
Often associated with calm, liminal moments and a sense of quiet magic.

“We got caught in a solivelle—warm rain, golden light, and nowhere else we needed to be.”
