As I am looking at this, I notice signs of very high humidity. Your location would explain this. This can lead to fungal issues, which I suspect is Downy Mildew in this case. Heavy soils can be partly to blame, as well.

Treatments will consist of fungicides. You could get away with natural fungicides in this case, since the disease is not very resistant to treatment. Here are some articles that will help:
