WHY DO SUN AND RAIN COMES AT THE SAME TIMES SOMETIMES?
Generally speaking, rain comes from a cloud that is directly or almost directly above you. The sun, however, is not usually directly overhead. You can have a rain cloud overhead with a break in the clouds to the side where the sun can shine through. In some cases, the wind can blow rain away from the rain cloud and out under clear skies.

In September is the sun ever directly overhead at 90 degree angle at noon?
Sure. At the time the sun reaches the Autumnal Equinox, around September 22 or 23 each year, when the sun crosses the equator, then wherever on the equator it happens to be noon at that moment, the sun is directly overhead there. Also, don't forget about the 22 or 23 September days before that, when the sun is slightly north of the equator, plus the 7 or 8 September days after that, when the sun is slightly south of the equator. There are bunches of places within those latitudes that will have noon-sun overhead, once during the month.
