Ventilation allows heat and cold to enter and exit within a respectable middle ground. On cold days it will be warmer on average, and on warm days cooler then average. Its worth the consideration if you live in a very cold, or very hot place. The roof covers a wide area and is the most common way to exchange heat and cold.
On the roof, under the evaporative cooler.
Because white reflects heat whilst black absorbs it therefore a white roof will keep the house cooler as the suns rays will bounce back off of it whereas a black roof will absorb the suns rays.
I would recommend putting in roof vents. We have this same problem with our attic and we have put in roof vents and also insulated it so that we can keep the heat down throughout the rest of the house.
Roof ventilation is necessary so that the air is in constant circulation keeping moisture levels low causing less future damage. Roof ventilation also increases energy efficiency in warmer climates.

Proper attic ventilation help reduce energy bills and extends the life of the roof. Temperature can be lost through the attic if not ventilated properly. Ventilation can also help keep homes safe and free from any structural damages.

If the roof slates or tiles are in good repair, with no slipped or missing slates or tiles, there should not be any dampness. If there is, the probable cause of dampness in the roof space (loft) is bad ventilation. Ensure there are air spaces or good ventilation under the eaves, covered by mesh to keep out nesting birds.
Gable vents are actually counter productive when used with ridge vents. It is better to have ventilation at the soffits which will create a draft drawing in cooler air and exhausting it through the ridge.
Not enough ventilation. Moisture from inside the house is condensing on the underneath side of the roof.
Painting a roof white has nothing to do with whether it contains asbestos or not. White efficiently reflects the sun's heat, helping to keep the space under the roof cooler than it would otherwise be in a different color.
