Answer #1

Open a window on the cool/shaded side of your house then put the fan, facing outward, in a window on the sunny side of the house.

Answer #2

keep your windows open overnight, close them in the morning. cover your widows with foil, if you don’t mind how that looks. lay a damp (DAMP! not wet. wet will cause a short and a fire.) towel over a fan. the evaporation will lower the temperature of the air being blown by the fan. that’s about it. good luck, may you always live the dream.

Answer #3

You can put ice blocks or bottles of frozen water in front of the fan and then it blows chilled air into the room. I found that really effective last summer.

If the sun is on your windows, close the curtains/blinds/shutters until the evening.

Open windows early morning, evening and night, but keep them shut in the daytime.
