Had a similar situation before and it was because my attic wasn’t well ventilated.

Had two roofers come tell me the roof was actually leaking and I needed a new roof. Handyman came over and installed a vent fan for $150 and the problem resolved

It was 88 in our house last night. AC went out. Got it working about 630pm. I'm so dehydrated I can barely move. My hands feel like 2 clubs. At least it has cooled off now

My folks are encapsulating their house. 3400sqft is going to be 10k. 2500.00 is the dehumidifier cost
Doesn't do any good if the place isn't air tight.
I think @shiv is correct you need for movement in your attic. You can try for $20 to put a box fan on low up in your attic. I bet it would help some. If it doesn't you're only out $20. If it works well then JACKPOT

This is actually at our rental a 1952 beach bungalow with a flat roof and a 4 ton unit outside(just had to replace that, believe that was from the 70s). House is fine.

Yeah the flat roof on beach houses suck. You could probably cut a hole and put one of those twirly metal air vents in it for a minimal cost. Probably need to go in and tighten up some walls or at least caulk the fuck out of everywhere. Good luck w it

Had a guy cramp up with infront of my office with heat exhaustion other day and had to call an ambulance. Good thing I was out picking weeds to see him.
