Never gets hot enough to need more than a fan here really, but similar ideas should still apply. Cool the person instead of the house. So I've bottle or a small heat pump (old fridge, aquarium chiller) to cool water and pipe it around you in some way.
Downside is condensation, but not sure how bad that is if you have low humidity as we are always high humidity.
What do you mean pipe it around you?
Pipe the coolant around yourself so it is more directly cooling you rather than the house. Exactly how is up to you. Could sit on cold a hose pipe, or send it through a heat exchanger with a fan pointed at you. Like a computer water cooling fan/radiator.
