[edit] Causes

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)

"'Sun shower' is not a meteorological term but it is widely used in the community. The nature of showers coming from cumuliform clouds means that often the sun can be seen while the rain is falling. If this happens when the sun is low in the sky in the early morning or late afternoon, turn your back to the sun and admire the rainbow in front of you. Rainbows can only be seen when the sun is below 42° above the horizon. The largest rainbows are seen close to sunset or sunrise when the sun is right on the horizon." from Weather Terms.

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?

[edit] Commercial Sunshowers

Can someone find some more info on the Sentavi Sunshower? The OhGizmo! link links to their site, which is apparently NSFW (Is that grounds for not linking to it from here? I don't think it is but if anyone's certain, please add the official link).
