Yep, it'll be fine. Yeast can live up to at least body temperature (37°C). With luck it'll get down to a cooler temperature before the yeast really take off. Ideally you want it somewhere between 18°C and 22°C for the majority of the ferment if you can, but a stable temperature is more important than a specific absolute temperature.
