Growing up I lived in Kansas and we had an attic fan; we opened all the windows and it sucked up the hot air into the attic and circulated the cooler air at night. It worked very well.
I live in SW FL now and it is unusually warmer for this time of year, but we still have a gentle breeze outside and I have central AC and get it checked and serviced every 6 mos.
GOOD NEWS though; it has been predicted that this should be a less than average hurricane season as the waters are cooler (go figure).

When I was a teen back in the sixties my father purchased a two-way fan. He and my mother had a window air conditioner for their bedroom. When it got real hot, we kids used poor people's air conditioning......the basement.
However, in the summer the heat went upstairs to my brother's and my bedroom. It could be difficult sleeping some nights.
So father said we could use the two way fan. He put the two-way fan into our window. His idea was that we could suck the hot air out of the house through our bedroom window and into the night air.
I tried to tell my father that we'd just be sucking more hot air into our room and that it would be better to suck the cool, outside night air into our room. My father remained adamant that his way was the right way.
So we tried his method. No good...the room remained hot as an oven. However, he assured us that the room would shortly turn cool as the sweat was pouring down our faces.
So after he left our bedroom (and the room remaining quite hot) I reversed the flow of the air from the fan sucking air out from the house into our room to sucking cool, outside air into our room.
The change in cooler air into our bedroom was almost instantaneous. My father later marched upstairs and looked bewildered that the previously very hot room was now quite cool and sleepworthy.
He never admitted he was wrong ( he never admitted to any mistakes ever) but silently turned around and walked out of the room.
Nevertheless, my brother and I had a pleasant night's sleep with cool air in the room.
