Similar re summer heat here in Australia. I've used cool aircon for just one day.
Except for one funny thing. My bedrooms face west. Very hot, boiling hot, could write a thread about it. You'll laugh: I purchased two large reflective (car) windscreen sunscreens, taped them to relevant windows, erected a 🔺️ shade sail for aesthetics and more shade, total cost very low, passive cooling starts with keeping the sun OUT, very pleased with result.
I've just used a lot of words you don't really connect with, haven't I? Reflective windscreen sun shades hahahaaa
