Position of Sun at noon between the Equator and Tropic of Cancer

[dobry_den]

In the temperate latitudes of the northern hemisphere, the sun is due south when it reaches the highest point in the sky (see for example http://www.solarplots.info/pages/definitions.aspx" ). What about latitudes between the Tropic of Cancer and the equator? Is the sun due north when it reaches the highest point? Could you, please, provide some (links to) visualizations/diagrams that model this situation?

During the course of the year the noon sun is overhead at some latitude (L) between the tropic of cancer (~June 21) and the tropic of capricorn (~Dec 21). At latitudes south of L, it is due north and latitudes north of L, it is due south.
