    Blossom end rot. It is caused by uneven watering, they get too dry , before getting wet again. Hard to prevent in this weather unfortunately. I've got it, my mum has it and the neighbour has it. Try watering twice a day instead of once. Pick off affected fruit and throw away. When weather conditions improve, the plants will produce better fruit.
