The great southern author Shelby Foote used the devil is beating his wife reference in his 1952 Civil War novel Shiloh. It's a folk term for "sunshowers". "The devil is beating his wife" occurs not only in English, but Dutch and Hungarian as well. Other such phrases include "The devil is getting married" (Hungarian), "The devil is kissing his wife" (Tennessee), and "The devil is having a parish fair" (German).
