Block sunlight coming in windows. Ideally with exterior blinds or reflective material on the glass. Interior blinds block light but not heat.
-
AC circulation. If your AC isn't hooked to your forced air than you'll want to circulate the air in your house to bring down the average.
-
Vent thorugh windows at night. Wait until it's below 20C and open at least 2 windows. Use a fan to force more airflow.
-
Hang out in the basement.
-
Upgrade your roof/windows. If you're from a warm climate your house probably isn't well insulated to keep heat in during winter; which also means that it doesn't keep heat out. Newer windows block UV light and have a higher R value which prevents heat from the air against the glass.
-
Plant climbing/creeping plants. They will absorb sunlight that would hit your house/etc and can create a micro climate several degrees cooler than the ambient temp.
-
Avoid wearing cotton and dark colours.
-
Wear a 360 large brim hat and sunscreen. Some of the "hot" sensation is actually UV damage.
