That would be on the day of the Summer Solstice.
If you live south of the Tropic of Capricorn, it's within a day either way of December 21.
If you live north of the Tropic of Cancer, that's within a day either way of June 21.
If you live anywhere between those lines ... in the "Tropics", between 23.5° north latitude
and 23.5° south latitude ... then there are two days each year when the mid-day sun is
directly over your head. The dates depend on your exact latitude in the Tropics. If you're
exactly on the Equator, then they're roughly March 21 and September 21.
The sun reaches its highest point in the sky at solar noon, which is when it is directly overhead an observer at the Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic of Capricorn, depending on the time of year. This position is known as the sun's highest altitude or culmination.
The altitude of the sun is the angle between the sun and the observer's horizontal plane. It changes throughout the day as the sun rises and sets. At solar noon, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, the altitude is its maximum.
The sun appears at its highest point around midday, when it reaches its highest position in the sky. The sun appears at its lowest point during sunrise and sunset, when it is closest to the horizon.
It is usually highest at noon.

For an observer at latitude 35 degrees, the highest the sun can ever be in his sky is roughly 31.5 degrees above the horizon.
At noon on June 21st at 41 degrees north latitude, the sun's altitude would be at its highest point of the day, which would be approximately 68.5 degrees above the horizon. This is the highest altitude the sun will reach in the sky during the summer solstice at this latitude.
The sun's altitude refers to its angle above the horizon, measured in degrees. This angle varies throughout the day and changes with the seasons due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun. At solar noon, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky for that day, which is when its altitude is at its maximum. The altitude can be calculated using the observer's latitude, the date, and the time of day.
both september and march because they both contain equinoxes which is when the sun is at the highest altitude
On June 21, the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. At the equator, the sun will be directly overhead at noon, resulting in an altitude of 90 degrees. This phenomenon occurs because the sun's rays are perpendicular to the equator on this date.
the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.
