If you have multiple levels (e.g. a house) open a window downstairs and one upstairs. The rising hot air inside will draw in cooler air from outside, but the hot air needs to be able to escape. If you power that with a fan, that’s good too.
I’ve tried that, it doesn’t work. I must have a secret furnace in my room somewhere. Once it gets to about 9 or 10 am it’s better with the window closed and the door open, since the hallway always feels a lot cooler. Eventually there’ll be a breeze that will run from the north side of the house to my room and that will cool things down. In the meantime, a spray bottle and fan are my best friends for the next few days.
Aim a fan in/out a window to increase airflow.
Aim a fan at yourself. That’ll increase wind chill.
