Welcome to TFF 4867. I am going to give you a perhaps off the main path opinion. The actual time to your next drop could be anywhere from about 4 weeks to tomorrow depending on the state of your females. In my own experience, the temperature of your tank is far too high.
A guppy is best suited to around 25C or a bit less and will have its fry drop in a reasonable time at that temperature. At higher temperatures, you can indeed induce an early fry drop, but the resulting fry will be of inferior quality. I tend to run my guppy tank at about 25C or a bit less and have huge fry survival rates of fish having excellent growth rates at that temperature. The difference seems to be the difference between high survival rates of the fry and good quality of those same fry. Mine demand very high prices at local fish club auctions and the juveniles put forward by people using high temperatures simply do not. I believe that the buyers at my local club auctions are better informed than the general fish hobby population so my fish demanding an higher price means to me that my fish are of a higher quality.
