I will vote on it being the heat also. Tomato flowers do not pollinate well in temps. in the mid 90s. if you can keep the plant alive until cooler weather prevails they will revive and set fruit. Mine are too damaged at this point. I use a mixture of Algoflash and a product called Sea Magic Seaweed (ordered from Jungs) along with some Epsom salt. I have used it as a foliar spray and to feed the roots.
Paste Tomato Plants I will transplant today and a few Jalapenos, green Bell peppers, Red pimentos and a zuke I picked this morning.

Gorgeous bells. I’m envious. You had more cooler/cloudy days during the heat wave than we did apparently. My tomatoes, however, are all ecstatically happy plantwise. Just no tomato set during hot spell. I think the combo of heat and excessive rain made yours unhappy. Seems like your locale is always getting rain, every time I load the radar.
Your mater plants are about the size of mine. IIRC we started them around the same time.
