When it's pouring rain but oddly enough the sun is still shining brightly, it is said 'The Devil Is Beating His Wife'

Saying used (especially in the southern US) when the sun is shining yet it's raining. I've been told that in Scandinavian countries they say "There's a marriage in Hades" for this, and in South America they say "The devil and his wife are dancing." (Since all version relate to the devil and his spouse, there's probably some older story that all these sayings derive from.)
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain, coming down on a sunny day? Yes, the devil is beating his wife. (Heh, CCR reference too.)

Adam: Look Jane! It's raining and there's sun at the same time.
Jane: The devil is beating his wife, adam.
Adam: Silly bastard!
Jane: The devil is beating his wife, adam.
Adam: Silly bastard!

This expression is used to describe the weather when it is raining and sunny, also referred to as a "sunshower."
"Looks like the devil is beating his wife today," muttered the old coot as he felt the rain hit the back of his neck.

An old saying that is used to describe times when it is raining but the sun is still shining and there is little to no cloud cover. Most commonly used by southern and/or country folk in the US.
