best to get an oscillating fan....move that air over your plants. try to get that temp down to at least 82. ever bit helps with a lower temp.

2-3 inches should be good
even then you can still burn some plants -- i just burned one of my leaf..

just like ringsixty said -- do the back hand test (noooo.. not your pimp hand)
