Wow, well, you are doing the right things. Are you sure there's not some serious heat source inside your room? Gaming PC with a big monitor or something? Being on the south side is obviously not helping but it's surprising that it's that much hotter than the rest of the house, which is staying cooler.

If you're interested, it's quite hot today. My room is 29.2°. The hallway just outside my doorway (which is open) is 27.5°.

Damn, that sucks. Looking at your forecast I'm partially thinking "where was that summer last year?" but it also looks pretty uncomfortable.

Nope, no big heat sources. Just south facing and high up with terrible air flow. Doesn't help that everyone on our street is turning their lawns into patios and chopping down the trees. Next time we get a heat wave (I think we're due another soon), I'll measure the temp difference between my room, the hall and the next door room which faces north. It's probably only a degree or two, but it feels so much worse.
