Keep the windows open, make sure that you have screens on the window.
Have your windows tinted.
You can actually have two fans one in take the other exhaust.
But, like you said only "a" fan then you can use it as an in take. Let it suck in the cool air.

When I was a kid, we had a window fan. It was huge and was located in the center of the house. The fan blew the air out and we would open a window about half-way in whatever room we wanted cooled. That way the fan sucked the air from outside (fresh) into the whole house. People also use these in the attics (attic fan). You can achieve basically the same thing with a commercial type box fan in your window. In low humidity areas, this will work fine. If you're in high humidity, I think I'd go with an AC unit! Of course, I'm rotten! Thanks for asking this question; it brought back a nice memory! Godloveya. Stay cool!

if you have a window fan, put it in a window not in the bedroom. Try the living room. Point it so it blows out. open only one window in the bedroom. wait till the sun goes down and turn it on. It will draw in the cooling evening air into a hot building and will pass over you while you are sitting or in bed. As the night wears on it will get cooler.

Put the fan in a window facing the outside to suck the hot air out. If it is a ceiling fan keep it on the lowest speed, so it doesn't push the hot air back down.

in case you may't get or have a small room ac unit, get a small area dehumidifier to take the humidity out of the room. you'd be shocked how nicely those issues paintings that ought to help you experience extra tender. And in case you do not have one, you want a fan that has a ninety* tilt so that you'll be able to element it immediately up on the ceiling to get the air rather shifting.

put the fan in the window at night. Night air is normally cooler in the summer time.

they have small 5000 to 10000 btu window units, enough for 1 room. cost about $ 100.00 or less, & if you open a home depot card, they'll give you $50.00. so you're only talking about $ 60.0 - $ 75.00 bucks!! no excuse for not buying one!
