As prrriiide said, your OG for a stout is pretty low. Did you aerate the wort well? You might want to give the wort a stir. Best to leave it set for a few weeks. By all means your beer is not ready for anything. Are you planning on using a secondary fermentor?

I heard hydrometers work best in the southern hemisphere.

Good to hear your fermentation started. Yeast is fine at cooler temperatures (ale yeasts), it is usually dormant or has very slow activity. Excessive heat is what can kill yeast. As others have said, it's better to have a cooler wort than a hot wort when adding yeast.
