WTF?

OK, so, I'm outside hanging up laundry. The sky is mostly blue, except for a few vaguely rainy-looking clouds, which are not directly overhead. Suddenly, I start to hear this sound, all around me. It's a lot like the sound of water droplets hitting things like, oh, metal shed roofs. It confuses me. A few moments later, I begin to feel drops of water hitting my body. Water falling from the sky. Which is blue.

Is this that strange phenomenon folks in the Pacific Northwest refer to as a "sun shower?" Because I always kind of thought they were making it up.
