weather friend - an acquaintance with whom the friendship does not progress beyond discussuing more banal topics or exclusively "the weather".
John's just a "weather friend"; it's not as if I know anything about him other than he's hoping for good weather this weekend.
A friend who only associates with you when they have nothing better to do. Someone who may only stick around in exciting situations but when times are somewhat boring, leave your side.
A fair weather friend would act like they want to hang out but never invite you to do anything and if you invite them to do something they will only do it if they cant find something better.

Someone who you thought was a good friend but they only show up when the circumstances are in their favor.
At first I thought Matt was a good friend because he would always hang out. Turns out he was just a fair weather-friend. Boy it is mighty cloudy today.

The opposite of a fair-weather friend, a foul-weather friend only seeks you out if they have a problem, need a shoulder to cry on, a ride to town or someone to watch their dog, but otherwise they act as if they don't even know you. They're only your chum when they're glum.
A foul-weather friend will never call you to go out with other friends, go to a show or just go hang out, but the minute trouble comes, your foul-weather friend knows you are good old reliable you, the one who will listen when no one else will, and they act like you're their only friend. Don't expect the same in return either. When you've got a problem, they'll usually tell you not to bring them down.

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 friend who is there for you when your down, but is no where to be seen when your happy.
He is a foul-weather friend, he is always there for me but I never see him when I’m happy.

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.
