Yes, warp drive is a wonderful thing.  :)

Pardon me while I LAUGH OUT LOUD. Where are you from, Iceland?
33C is only 89 Fahrenheit. In Austin it has been known to
reach 112 F (~45C?). Last year we had several days in a row
at that max. This summer has been mild; but usually when it gets 
as low as 89 (in the early evening), we go for a walk and marvel 
at how pleasant it is.  :)
