I’ve had some success with taping those silver car window screen things to west-facing windows. Its unsightly but does block the heat

Used to see those at other places, looks so ghetto but I might seriously consider it (and too bad if it reflects right off into other peoples windows across the carpark) because it's just untenable otherwise. I've just come home and the air-conditioning was on for an hour and then off for an hour and it's still hot as fuck in here, there's no cross ventilation even with all the windows open now.

Wish I had a way to stick them on the outside of the windows, that's what needs to stop getting hot in the first place
