Tomato Disease

Question

Can anyone tell me what is going on with my tomatoes. We live in NM, zone 6. The summer has been very hot with temperature in the low to mid 90’s. I am watering the plants twice a day, for 10 mts each time via drip irrigation. The leaves look healthy. Please see the pix attached. Thanks for any help.

This does seem to be related to the early stages of sunscald. This is when the fruit is exposed to too much sunlight or for too long. Here is an article that will help with the issue:
