I have the same problem more or less here in Southeastern Louisiana. I keep all my adults in a separate room and have installed a window AC unit. I set it on 60. I am sure you could get an old refrigerator and modify it to ensure air flow inside. Hook up a thermostate and set it on 55. If you have the money, you could even invest in a wine cooler. They appear to have reliable thermostats.

Good Luck.
