I need to know the latitude of places where the sun is overhead on any particular day. The information is needed to enable me to find latitude.
The northernmost latitude at which the sun can be directly overhead is around 23.44° north. That latitude is called the Tropic of Cancer, and the sun is directly over it at the moment of the June equinox.The southernmost latitude at which the sun can be directly overhead is around 23.44° south. That latitude is called the Tropic of Capricorn, and the sun is directly over it at the moment of the December equinox.
Tropic of Capricorn
Tropic of Cancer
No, the only part of the earth's surface where it's possible for the sun to be directly overhead sometimes is between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° north latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° south latitude).
No. The sun can never be overhead at any latitude that's more than about 23.5 degrees north or south. (What's the matter ? Doesn't Houston get hot enough for you in August ???)
The sun is directly overhead at the summer solstice at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5oN). This is as the most northernly latitude which has the sun directly overhead at any time of the year. A similar case happen at the winter solstice at the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5oS).
The Tropic of Cancer ... roughly 23.5 degrees north ... is the most northerly latitude where the sun can ever appear directly overhead.

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 is locally noon.
I think that the sun is only ever directly overhead the equator at noon on any day of the year.
The Tropic of Cancer is a line of latitude (23.5 o N) where the Sun is directly overhead at the Summer Solstice. The Tropic of Capricorn is a line of latitude (23.5 o S) where the Sun is directly overhead at the Winter Solstice.

There are only two days of the year is when the sun directly overhead Singapore. This is as a result of being almost at the same latitude as the equator.
