Block the sun from comming in, by hanging a curtain or bed sheets on the outside of the window.
Of course real shutters would be even better, but price and time wise this gets you there.
Close your windows in the morning BEFORE 8:30 or so. Open then after 20:00 BUT ONLY iit’s colder outside. Keep them open during the night.
You can not cool a house down with warm air. Yes it’s warm inside, but it’s even hotter outside so opening a window during the day does not help you. If you like a breeze, buy a fan
Yes, this exactly! This works especially well if you have temperature sensors in your house, since then you can know when exactly to open and close based on the difference between internal and external temperatures (or at least that’s what I say to myself to justify my Home Assistant setup). Extra effective if you put a fan in the window during the cooler night.
BTW just in case, I think it was TechnologyConnections who did a video of a fan. But the air from a fan creates friction with more air, and you can get way more out of a fan when it’s surrounded by more air (so don’t stuff it in a carton window hole)
I’m in the attic so all heat goes to my room; I need to keep the shades down 95% but leave the window open so the heat can escape and air can circulate.
For anyone looking for some cheap help tips:

We do nr 2 (we have a store for nr 1 + sort of blinders), we got the temp at only 28-29°C.
Outside:
Holy fucksticks, 47… Good luck out there

Sensor? Home Assistant? Howmuch is good enough…

For 1 these metallized emergency blankets work much better. Aluminum foil also works but it’s not as durable when put outside
