I would agree with a couple well placed fans. Additionally, I blast the fans inward during the nighttime, either in my bedroom or another room if the fan noise is bothersome. Then, the tricky part, keep all doors and windows closed during the day's heat! It's been tough to keep roommates from leaving doors and windows open during the day, but it makes a huge difference.
The first hot weekend is rough around here, but after trapping cooler night time air in the house, and keeping it in here, it's much more comfortable.
