Sun and rainstorms can definitely overlap.

My mom used to say that when this occurred, it indicated that "the devil is beating his wife." I have never before considered the implications of this, but I looked it up and I still don't know.

The illustration of the idiomatic phrase can be explained as that of the devil spitting the fire of hell (the sun rays) and his wife’s tears (the rain).

I guess that makes sense?
