If you take a look at this video, a balloon pops when it is exposed to extreme heat. For the bat, it may be harmful, and explosive. definitely not a good feeling.
and you didn't specify what the flashback so I cant answer that part.
Answer: The simile helps support the idea that the narrator (as a bat) is concerned about the strong rays of the sun.
Explanation: In the story "My Life As a Bat" by Margaret Atwood, the narrator uses the simile to make a visual comparison and convey how intense the brightness of the sun was to her as a bat.
