We analyze warm tachyonic inflation, proposed in the literature, from the viewpoint of four-dimensional effective action for the tachyon field on a non-BPS D3-brane. We find that consistency with observational data on density perturbation and validity of effective action requires warped compactification. The number of background branes which source the flux is found to be of the order of 10, in contrast to the order of 1014 in the standard cold inflationary scenario.
