heard that hanging a gourd (can be found in chinese/ buddhist religious store) near the window/ door/ place near the hottest space, or putting a white/ transparent crystal, might help to adjust the room temperature.

growing/hanging some pot plants near outside windows might also help.

putting plants around living areas are common green methods of adjusting indoor/outdoor temperature; juz like u would feel a lot cooler when u walk into under a big tree from the outside with burning heat.

plants with lots of leaves release water vapour into the air, thus help to retain a certain level of humidity around the area where the plants exist.

some buildings that encounter all-time heat even have special arrangement on the exterior walls in which plants are grown on the entire surface on the wall; but these methods are more common in other countries.
