Which of course is why you pull down the blinds to limit heating of surfaces inside during the day and let the insulation keep heat out.
Which is why you of course open windows during the night to cool things off when temps are lower.
it's not perfect, and helps less with high nighttime temps, but it makes the proper insulated home work with you and not against you as much as possible.
We have a massive south facing side filled with windows (and two double glass doors), covers about 80% of the living area, all blinds mounted inside. We still had 9°C lower temps inside compared to outside during the worst hours of the heat wave. Yes 28°C is still hot, but much better than the 37°C we had outside.
