I use a bandana and tie it around my shoulders. I keeps my back cool, but it dries out pretty quickly so I have to keep re-wetting it.
I also have a mini mister fan! It’s so small I just clip it onto my backpack. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UL1DSD4?ref_=Oct_CAMWishedC_15194371011_1
My boyfriends room gets disgustingly hot as well and its the only room in the house that does so.
One big thing i noticed is that he has zero air circulation in his room lol. So, i put a fan directly infront of his window with the front facing his room and the back to the window. It will draw the air into the room. I also set up another fan that blows out his door and made sure at the end of the hallway, the window in that room is opened. So it kind of creates a fan-made air circulation system.
Other than strategically placing the fans, consider getting a mister that u can mount onto a fan? Or a mister fan that blows it out constantly? We all know we get extra cold when we step out of the shower/pool because our bodies are still wet and the wind is blowing on us. These mister fans use a similar logic! Here is a cheap one: Daite Foldable Handheld USB Mini Misting Fan Cooling Humidifier, 55ml Water Tank, 3 Adjustable Speeds, 1500mAh Rechargeable Battery, Portable, Desktop Umbrella Hanging https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06Y47QP2D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_nOyJBb50FB426.
Alright...
Ol' Florida boy here, so I'm aware of the pain.
First, you need a good offset umbrella. Get the offset, so that the pole isn't in the middle of everything. Deck chairs are up to you. Everyone has their own comfort level for chairs.
I recommend a big ass fan that you can put far away, and that can move air across your whole area. If you're so inclined, a fan mist kit can help a lot too. This may or may not be convenient (or necessary) for you, depending on your setup.
I'm an outdoorsy kinda guy, and I'd rather hang out outside all day than sit inside. As such, I recommend Adidas Climacool Shirts. They make other styles than the golf/polo shirt type, but the fabric is amazing in the heat.
Keeping with the staying outdoors all day theme, I always recommend a good hat to keep you cool. Hats are, of course, a personal preference, but anything with a nice wide brim, and plenty of ventilation is great.
Now, a cooler isn't necessarily required, however, if you're the cooler type, then you can't go wrong with a stainless steel patio cooler. If that's a little outside your budget, maybe go for a plastic one. Those Marine Ultra ones can hold ice for days without a problem.
If you've got the cooler, but you're more of a mini keg kinda guy, you could get a jockey box kit to slap up in a cooler. If you had a decent sized cooler, then you could still keep some sodas or water in there.
Now, I don't know about you, but when I'm chillaxin' out by the bbq, I like to get down with some tunes. You can get some outdoor radio setups for pretty cheap. We always managed to hide speakers under the roof overhang, and this seems geared towards it right out of the box.
Now, I'm not much of a TV guy, but if you're hanging out with the friends and family, especially in the autumn, someone's gonna demand to watch the football game. I have a crappy little 32" TV that I like to pull out and connect to the stereo, so we can put the game(s) on. Get one you like. That was just the first one I found for under $200. The one I've got is an older model from Sharp, and has a matte finish on the screen, so the viewing angle is very wide, and it's pretty easy to see, so long as there's a little shade over it. Also, $200 isn't a critical loss of cash if it gets rained on. Though in the 5 or so years I've been pulling the TV, it has never gotten wet enough to be a problem. (It rains nearly every afternoon during the summer where I'm from in FL).
Those are just some ideas, and not a comprehensive list. I didn't mention anything about mosquito control, as I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to Texas as "swampy".
Tiny misting fan. All the cooling of those big ones, but small enough to clip to a belt loop.
The top one worked wonders at edc last year... the bottom I’ve used on different heat related excursions where its ability to hold more water offset its slightly bulkier size (camping/hiking).
got a blue one for $6 at Dicks Sporting Goods

Edit: I can only vouch for these that have the ability to mist water as your body removes heat best by evaporation. Those that can not mist seem like they wouldn't be of too much help, unless you're sweating profusely (which is certainly plausible), since they would just be blowing the same 90 degree heat around.
I have
They all work really well, but IMO the effects can be short lived and you frequently have to get up and wet them again. The PVA cooling towel seems to work REALLY well, I think it has something to do with the gel like consistency of the fabric. I think these are good things to have around. My heat intolerance is really bad, so every little bit helps.
Also, I have an Embr Wave device, which I find brings short bursts of relief, but it takes a while between sessions and needs to be charged often. They’re also a bit pricey.
Cold showers help a lot. When I’m overheating, even cold water doesn’t make me jump like it normally would, it feels very soothing. It’s just about finding the right temperature.
Keep cool objects against your carotid arteries (basically just keep cold or cool items on your neck).
Fans help. Use a plastic spray bottle filled with water and mist yourself. I’ve tried one of these and I actually find they work really well for me
