Our place is more like your old place: all the bedrooms get the afternoon sun. We usually relied on having the blinders (external ones, electrically actuated) down, keeping the bedrooms dark until sunset (and using the external cool air at 7AM to cool the house for ~1.5 hours). It still doesn't solve the issue completely, the interior air temperature sometimes gets to 29-30 Celsius in the afternoon.

A bit on the toasty side. That was before we had solar installed, now we might as well get AC to use the sun to our advantage. On a personal note, I like the interior a bit warmer, somewhere around 24-25 Celsius.
