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.
