Fuck me, that's such a good solution.
My flat has all windows facing west-southwest, and I live on the top floor under the roof. I've had 30 degrees inside when it's been 24 outside today. Tomorrow's going to go up to 29. I'm going to boil in here.
The downside is obviously you get zero natural light. And your neighbors might think you're weird, but they're roasting while you're not so fuck em.
You could probably tape the foil to a piece of cardboard cut to size and that would make it easy to remove once the sun isn't shining straight at your window and put it back before morning. I don't know if the cardboard would affect it, however.
I’d use a piece of insulation foam board, cut to fit the window. Lighter than something like plywood, way more insulating, and can be easily squished into place once it is cut to size. Just hole the board up to the window, mark where your cuts need to be made, line one side with shiny foil, tape it along the back, and you’re done. Now you have an insulating reflective panel that can easily be popped in during the daytime heat, then pulled out at night.
You might also try a "swamp cooler" to cool down with:
Grab a bucket and a fan, and pour ice water into the bucket. Put the fan on behind the bucket and sit in the cool breeze it makes. It's like having your own little a/c unit.
The one downside to this is that the evaporating water will eventually make the air humid and make it harder for your sweat to cool you down, but it works great in the short term.
Swamp coolers unfortunately only work in arid places. Where I live, it is often too humid for a swamp cooler to effectively cool anything.
