Midsummer weather phenomenon?

I recall reading on this forum a couple of years ago about a certain light/weather phenomenon that can be seen at around FL30(I think) from late May to mid June.

Quite beautiful if I recall, but no idea what it was! Can anyone help?

In the UK we call it the sun, but it is a rarity so I understand the confusion.

Do you mean "Northen Lights"? Explosions from the surface of the sun, which when they hit our atmosphere make it look like lots of different colours?
A.K.A Aurora Borealis
