What does the “5 degrees and 146 days of rain” meme mean?

The image highlights the gap between a punitive political vision and the reality of a desirable location. It transforms climatic constraints into attractive marketing points. The tone is sarcastic towards the proposed policy while praising the supposed benefits of the cold and island serenity.

Where does the “5 degrees and 146 days of rain” meme come from?

The origin traces back to April 15, 2025, when the territorial community launched a Facebook campaign to attract residents. This initiative directly reacted to a statement by Laurent Wauquiez, President of the Republicans, made in early April. He suggested locking up foreigners under OQTF orders there, citing harsh weather (-5°C, 146 days of precipitation) as justification. The community flipped the logic by proposing positive slogans: "We Leave Everything Easily" or "We Come in Search of Family Tranquility." These visuals hijack the OQTF acronym to promote the island. The meme emerged from this direct media interaction, linking the politician’s cold figures with the archipelago’s tourist imagery.
