In my experience, painting things white in a high-humidity environment doesn't do much to help. In order to get the best results, you'd have to build a roof over your roof to keep the thermal energy from being transferred to your structure. That's really the only way to do it.
And even then you have to deal with heat radiating in from the outside air, at which point a central forced-air air conditioning system becomes vital because you not only need the cooling, but also to remove the excess humidity.
I imagine that someday soon someone is gonna make a killing selling whole-house sun screens that can be taken down once cooler weather sets in again.
