Usually a good friend to begin with that eventually takes advantage of a true friend and does not maintain the SAME loyalty and respect. Without an explation why, a fair weather friend may abandon a friendship altogether for superficial reasons or changes in moral beliefs without a care for nurturing fair dicussion. The exception is when that person needs something, they know they can still count on an "all weather friend"
Since she's a fair-weather FRIEND, I guess that means I'm still her friend in all weather until I consider her not a friend any longer.

New Dats. A sickening majority of 2009-2010 Saints Fans who couldn't stand the saints or the NFL for most of the season. The last 8 weeks this fan has bought 10 shirts, a jersey and hotel room in the quarter to proclaim how much they love the saints and leech off the joy felt by the who dats. In other words they are about as cool as a fanny pack.
New Dat: Stand up and get what
Who Dat: it is Stand up and get Crunk
Who Dat 2: who in the fuck is that?
Who Dat: Another fucking New Dat
Who Dat2: Where were all of them 8 weeks ago?
Who Dat: Leaching of the corndogs at LSU. Don't worry they won't be here long.
Who Dat 2: Good I hate the fair weather fans, they are fucking useless and they are raising the ticket prices.

A friend who only calls, texts, or hangs out when it suits them on their terms. They require everyone to be flexible around their last minute plans. In most cases, this friend will then cancel the plans all together because it doesn’t suit them- citing a last minute “pop up.” Never returns calls, texts, or face times.
Tyler’s friends genuinely enjoy his company. But as a fair weather friend- Tyler rarely actually follows through on returning calls, texts, face-times, or lunch dates. Usually he will claim some last minute “thing” was going on- but everyone knows its because he never wanted to hang out in the first place.

People who only support sports teams when they are doing well ie when the "weather is fair." If their team is losing, they don't claim to be a fan, but when their team is winning, they are obnoxious to the highest degree.
"Florida (Gators) are such fair weather fans, you don't hear shit from them unless they're winning."

"Georgia (Bulldogs) are the opposite of fair weather fans, they are DAWGS to the core, win or lose."

someone who only comes around when times are good.
Wow, I thought Steve hated you Dan. I know, so did I. I wonder why he keeps hanging around all of a sudden. It must be because you won the lottery last week. Yeah, he's just a fair-weather friend!
