At the equinoxes - around 21 May, and 23 September.
The sun is never directly overhead at latitudes higher than 23.5 degrees north or south, known as the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and the path of the sun in the sky throughout the year.
It shines directly overhead at noon on June 21-22, usually 1 or 2 days.
Yes on one day in the year the solstice denoting summer in each hemisphere.
The Tropic of Capricorn is the farthest south on the earth where the sun can be directly overhead at any time.Technically, that only happens at a single moment, at some time on December 21 or 22.
If you are at the equator, the SUN will be directly overhead during the equinoxes - around 21 March, and 23 September.
I think that the sun is only ever directly overhead the equator at noon on any day of the year.

No, the sun is never directly overhead at midday in Memphis, Tennessee, as it is located at a latitude of around 35 degrees north. The sun is only directly overhead at latitudes between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5 degrees south).
The Sun is directly overhead the same latitude at noon every day. It is over the equator at 0 degrees. Just because it is Halloween doesn't change anything.
It shines directly overhead at noon on June 21-22, usually 1 or 2 days.
The term for this phenomenon is the summer solstice. It is the longest day of the year and marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Never. The Sun can only be directly overhead (90 deg altitude) at latitudes between 23.5 deg N and 23.5 deg S. The Sun is directly overhead at a latitude of 23.5 deg N on the summer solstice. On that day it would be at its highest point in the sky for an observer at 27.947 deg N (about 85.553 deg above S horizon), but it would not be directly overhead.
Everyday
When the sun is directly overhead is the hottest. With solar panels it is when the sun is at 90 degrees to the face of the panel, which may be tilted depending on its distance from the equator.
In the continental United States, the sun is never directly overhead at noon. The furthest north that the sun can be directly overhead is at the Tropic of Cancer, which is at approximately 23.5°N latitude. This means that only locations south of this latitude, such as parts of southern Florida, experience the sun directly overhead, and even then, it occurs only during the summer solstice, around June 21, for one day.
The sun is at its peak at noon, when it is directly overhead.
