Individuals who would be considered extremely wealthy (top .01% of society) from the looks of their bank accounts, but choose to remain understated and quiet about their wealth. It's the ability to live champagne and caviar dreams, but choose to do so in a way that is indiscernible by the public. Commonly found in old monied families and communities.
Blending in with the droves of tourists in the town center, billionaires in Concord, MA drive around in old Volvo estates, wearing ordinary looking, grotesquely expensive clothing. When the discrete elite choose to get away, many take their G650 private jets out of Hanscom Field just down the street, remaining anonymous, and exercising the ultimate in stealth wealth.

In sports, the term is often confused with a bandwagoner, but unlike bandwagon fans, a fair weather fan initially has some interest in the team, but they want nothing to do with them when tough times occur. As soon as the team starts to turn things around and starts winning, they act as if they been there through thick and thin.
A fair weather friend is more of an associate/acquaintance. They aren't truly your friend, but you talk to them enough to somewhat know them personally. They act nice to you when they need something, but as soon as you need them to return the favor, they are nowhere to be found. A true friend is there for you no matter what.
This term can be applied to anything in life, but these are the most common.
