Getting a damp wash cloth and ringing it out then hanging it around your neck and dabbing your ears on occasion can bring your body temp down if overheating.
Try to abstain from alcohol if you can. Put aluminum foil with the shiny side out in your windows and cardboard if possible.
Close your blinds (seems simple, but many people don’t do this) make sure your windows are locked.
If you have a door that doesn’t seal well, put tape on it or a towel at the bottom to try to keep the hot air out.
Keep lights low or off

TVs generate more heat than you'd assume as well.
Also computers.

Consider just unplugging electronics that you aren't using. Our cable box (cable comes with this apartment for whatever reason) generates so much goddamn heat, even when it's in the most "off" state that it can be without being unplugged, it's ridiculous.
How humid is PNW? Evaporative cooling won’t work if it’s over 50%
Does anyone understand how humidity stays so low in these conditions? Like I live next to an ocean isn't this heat causing a ton of evaporation?
And yes I am totally ignorant on how humidity works thank you very much.
5 Gallon bucket swamp coolersSwamp coolers might be useful too - same principal as the shirt but using a bucket/and pump to keep the water re-circulating. It's also a lot cheaper than an AC.Edit : @ ToolTime found a better design: https://youtu.be/xDze9f6Jx8Q
I love the idea of swamp coolers, but the lowest humidity my area ever gets is like 60%.
Yeah they're kinda limited for that - apparently the PNW is pretty dry right now so it's viable for the next few days at least, if you'd need cooling pretty urgently and you don't have AC available.
Ahh that's definitely a better set-up - less tools needed/more straightforward as well
he has like twelve variations on this device, it's really interesting.
When it's hot like this, pretty dry. Doesn't rain when it's this hot. Otherwise extremely damp
If you're outside exerting yourself, make sure to put water on your arms as well. This will cool down the blood in your veins.
