Tomato plants drooping

My tomato plants are still kept indoors and were doing really well,  however I put them outside when it was warm today for a couple of hours as I need to hardened them then brought them in again. This evening they have started drooping for no apparent reason. Their compost is still moist so I’m not sure why this has happened, Any advice please. Thank you

    The sun and wind can dry them iut more quickly than the roots can pump moisture up into the leaves, particularly while the leaves are young and soft. I would put them in a more sheltered spot outside tomorrow. Filtered sunlight and no wind.
