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.

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!

these are people who leave you and make you "alone" without "genuine care" and make you long for a true friend.

A friend who only wants to hang out when he/she is in a good mood. They say that they'd rather not make their friends unhappy, and use this as an excuse to break off engagements on a moment's notice if his/her mood changes.
I was planning to hang out with Mike today, but he's such a fair weather friend that he called me five minutes before he was supposed to show up and canceled because he said he's feeling down.

A fair weather friend is one who lives in a milder climate than you. This person takes great pleasure in taunting you with how great it is where they are (warm and sunny) when you are suffering in your climate (cold and snowy or otherwise unpleasant).
Shane was taunted by his fair weather friends on Facebook as he sat looking helplessly from his office window, watching snow fall in the middle of April in Michigan.
