Three days is not enough time, without knowing your paint, technique etc. I could venture a guess that would be close but three days isn't in the curve even in 100 degree weather. My concern with high temps is the heat driving the oil from your painting if it has ANY thinckness whatsoever, which with your layering technique will/could eventually lead to cracking. Best to paint MORE 8-) on other canvasses and come back to them after a while...hedge, hedge, depending again on your technique and paint thickness. 2-3 weeks or LONGER might be more like it.
