You've already gotten some great suggestions! I think some frozen like treats to enjoy and visiting some places with AC are wonderful.

If Dubs doesn't already have a short haircut, this might be a good time to consider it.

You can also put a fan in front of bowls of iced water to help circulate cool air in your home. You also might consider getting a portable AC unit to have a backup for your HVAC. They can pretty reliably keep at least one room chilled.

Don't underestimate the power of blackout curtains! Aluminum foil across the glass is a quick, temporary alternative with similar results if you don't want the curtains.

Leaving your windows cracked overnight and in the early morning to let in cool air but closing them when the sun is up traps the cooler air in your home as well. This is way more helpful than you might think

There are also cooling mats you can buy for Dubs to lay on - though I'll warn you Lu chewed his up his first summer.

Source, I've lived in Texas and Florida before 😂 it gets HOT. And in Germany hardly anyone has central cooling.
