Keep doors to all second floor rooms closed to avoid cold air spilling down to the first level. Use ceiling fans but switch the direction to draw air up instead of down. This will circulate and help the keep the second floor rooms cooler overall.

This is what I do and I do not need window units, do not need to turn the temperature down, etc. It works.

+1. We did this recently, and before we did, the top floor was hot and muggy and the basement was freezing. Closed a couple of vents to force the cool air up to the top floor, and it's a lot better now.
