Already got a ceiling fan in the bedroom in question.

Is it set to spin in the right direction? Most of them go both
directions - one to cool the room, one to redistribute warm air in
winter.

TBH if a ceiling-fan isn't providing adequate cooling, a proper air-
conditioning unit is really the next option.


There are lots of options. The simplest is to get a dual thermometer,
mount it so it reads indoor and outdoor temp, and open window when
outdoor is cooler than indoor. Very simple, very cheap, can knock a
good amount of heat out.

In evening and am it cools directly. evening cooling also reduces the
temp of the house brickwork, which in turn gives cooling thru the hot
afternoons.

Nother good idea is shading with deciduous climbers. There are lots of
options. AC is the no brain option: plug it in, it works, no thinking
is required. But its one of the last options Id pick myself. All the
others cost either nothing or almost nothing to run.
