Even though summer days are hot your nights (depended on where you live) will be rather cool and often with a nice breeze. As long as humidity is down and cooler outside open a few windows and let the air flow through your house and cool it off.Minimize Using doors and windows during the day
Limit opening and closing doors and windows that lead to the outside. By limiting the outside warm air coming in you can drastically reduce the amount of heat entering your home. If a part of your home is hit heavy with sun consider putting a large cover to put up outside that would shade that part of your home further cutting down on the heat that may enter your home through the walls.
