Make liberal use of fans, they lower perceived temperature by several °C. Wear loose-fitting linen clothing. Use hats that provide shade, like a cap or something with a larger brim. Go for a swim. Take a warm shower before bed (counterintuitive but helps in my experience). Try to create a breeze through your home by opening windows on opposite sides of the home, when the temperature is higher inside than outside. Use sunscreen.
