message: Can anyone provide more detail on the meteorlogical causes of sunshowers? This article is more like a language article than a weather article. Jokermage 13:53, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

message: thumb| Flower after a sunshower 
I'd like to propose this image for the article.
:It's nice enough. If you can find a suitable one, however, perhaps a picture of the rain coming down from the sky would be better?

::I found some nice, suitably-licensed ones on flickr, showing raindrops and sunshine in the same photograph. They're in the article. -Kieran 15:13, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I deleted some uncited and erroneous statements about non-US synonyms/sayings re sunshowers.  Most of them appear to have been quoted (possibly second-hand) from the writings of a linguist, Professor Bert Vaux, on an academic webpage that no longer exists.  In September, Vaux will send me cites to his written work, and an URL if he puts it back online at his current academic posting. Meanwhile, if I have time, I'll dig through JSTOR but I hate doing that, since users without university i.d. usually can't get into that database (unless their local public library has an account and they know how to get into it). I'll put them back as soon as I get an accurate copy which can be accurately cited.  -- Lisasmall 23:23, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

message: My mother explained the phrase "the devil is beating his wife" this way: The devil is Lucifer, derived from Latin, "light bearer."  The rain, of course, represents his wife's tears.  I have no source for this other than mom, and mom would qualify as "original research" so I can't put it in the article.  I thought someone reading this page might be interested in her explanation, so I've added it here.Typing Monkey - (type to me) 00:44, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

message: A Norwegian friend of mine told me that in Norway they say, "There's a marriage in the underworld" (i.e., their version of hades), but I can't find a reference for this. Truejim (talk) 21:56, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Where my family comes from  (East Kentucky) it's said that if it rains while the sun shines it will rain again the next day.  Don't know if similar superstitions exist elsewhere, but I'll not add it because I don't know of a published refference on it.  If anyone one does, however, such things are at least as interesting as devil's beating/kissing wives/daughters (which I have only heard once before, and only for the first time a few years ago, finding it a shockingly bizarre at the time).

thread_title:  Predictive Supperstition (etc.) 

message: I can't help but notice that a lot of these names for a sunshower involve foxes and weddings of some kind, and these names are allegedly distributed across multiple religious groups, language groups (indo-european, japonic, dravidian, etc), and continents, and this is ringing a lot of my suspicion bells. Does anyone know what might be going on here?  
Thinking about it more, several large parts of this page have been marked as "citation needed" since 2019, and I can't find any good sources by a cursory search, so unless anyone can find some good sources or has a strong objection, I think it might be prudent to just remove the unsourced materials.
