If nights are cooler, open windows late and early morning, then close everything before the heat builds. Use fans to move air. It works best when humidity is not terrible.
Blackout curtains or thermal curtains helped us a lot. Keep sun-facing windows covered during the hottest part of the day. It feels simple, but stopping heat before it enters is huge.
