Fair weather = अच्छा, धूप वाला मौसम। Fair-weather friend सिर्फ़ अच्छे मौसम में साथ रहता है और तूफ़ान आते ही छोड़कर चला जाता है — यानी selfish friend।

Fair weather means good, sunny weather. A fair-weather friend stays with you only while the weather is fine and leaves the moment the storm comes. That is a selfish friend.
