If you can spray water on the outside walls, the paths near the house and the garden. The evaporative cooling of the area will help a bit.
Good advice. I did this Wednesday, unfortunately the wall in question is the longest in the house, and gets blasted with all of the afternoon sun. even after 2/3 minutes of cold water on the bricks the water was still warm by the time it reached the bottom of the wall. I think its the dark tiles on the roof that make it the worst though.
@Seagoon_ @TinyBreak very sage advice.
