Roof ventilation will help a lot. It keeps moisture from building up and lets the heat out.

Good insulation is just as important.

We have a conventional brick facade house and asphalt shingles and we went to the ridge vents. They look like part of the normal roof, but they let a lot of air out. We also have vents in the soffits. We went with impact resistant shingles since a hail storm wiped out out old roof. It is astonishing how much a new roof can cost. It was nearly as much as I paid for my 911. The old roof was 25 years old so it had already lasted longer than many in the area.
