"Monkey's wedding" tức "Mưa bóng mây" là từ dùng để chỉ hiện tượng mưa trong khi trời đang nắng. Ý tưởng về từ này được mượn từ cụm "umshado wezinkawu" (có nghĩa là "monkey's weeding") trong ngôn ngữ Zulu.
Ví dụ
The man was still angry about the monkey's wedding because it made his clothes completely wet.
I still remember the last time we've met each other. There was a monkey's wedding during the period we said goodbye. From that day on, whenever seeing the monkey's wedding, I miss him...
Where in the UK, we might call rain during sunny weather a "sun-shower", those in South Africa may call it a "monkey's wedding", and those in the US's southern states would sometimes say "the devil's beating his wife".
