A friend who is only a friend when circumstances are pleasant or profitable. At the first sign of trouble, these capricious, disloyal friends will drop their relationship with you.
I had thought Ted would stand by me when I was accused of theft, but it turned out he was only a fair-weather friend.

A self-proclaimed fan whose loyalty and dedication is easily swayed
Drew claims to be a diehard Red Sox fan, but the fact that he chose to watch an episode of Game of Thrones over a Red Sox - Yankees game proves that he's just a fair weather fan.
1. A fan who only likes a team when it is winning
John used to like the Mariners but now that they have been losing a lot he now likes the Dodgers. He is such a fair weathered fan
Someone who waxes philosophical about being Patriotic but would never actually join the Military and put their ass on the line for anything. To the Fair Weather Patriot simply voting and paying taxes is enough.
Fair Weather Patriot: (Singing Lee Greenwood) "And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today!"
Military Guy: (Interrupting) "Hey man you know we've been at war for like ten years now right? Why haven't you stood up next to me and defended her still today like the song says?"
Fair Weather Patriot: "I do my part -- I vote and pay my taxes."

A person who only runs when the weather is excellent but otherwise avoids running
During springtime the fair weather runners finally start training while the rest of the Track team has been running all winter.
See fair-weather friend. Someone who is agreeable only when the prevailing conditions are pleasant. Unreliable when the going gets rough.
Ken Stratton is not a fair-weather sailor
A disloyal friend. Someone who will befriend you when it’s beneficial or convenient for them, but will ditch you the second you’re no longer useful. They’ll hang out with you when nobody else is available. But will ghost you when they find better company. They’re basically a phony friend who are only interested in you when it’s in their favor but couldn’t care less about you as a person.
Hey Steve, why do I only hear from John when he wants a favor but is never available when I need something?
Simple, he’s a fair weather friend.
