I'm having to water mine every other day. Not just my tomatoes (raised bed) & stuff growing in pots but even the okra that's growing in-ground. It's that hot and dry. Sounds like they were just thirsty. Here's hoping they all recover for you.

Nope. Still drooping. I AM GOING TO LOOSE what little bit of my mind I have left.

If you get desperate try trimming the plants back. I had a case where the plants grew bigger than the small roots could support, (I bought them from a green house) I accidentally hacked off a piece with the hoe and the plant shaped up soon after. With less plant the roots could support the smaller plant better.

I found two tomato worms on plants today. I sure wished I had a few chickens today. Would have loved to see the smile on their little beaks as they ate those horrible worms.

Are they drooped early in the morning? Yes. Some droop in the afternoon Some in the evening. It's so random.

And your fertilizing them enough? That's also another reason to make sure they have plenty of water, to allow plants to take up the nutrients.
Doesn't really look like disease, leaves aren't yellow, etc. I was gonna suggest putting a shade cloth over them in the hottest part of the day, but if they're droopy in the early morning, then it's not heat.
Wish I could be more help but I'm stumped.

I grew them from seed in the house. I planted them in the dirt, the week after Mother's Day (too dang cold before that) Based upon my garden journal from years past, and photos from years past, they are growing about the same rate.
Talked to a young man today, who is growing tomatoes for the first time in his life, they are in pots on his apartment deck and they are doing the droop too. He lives miles away from me.......totally different dirt, environment, etc.......When I showed him pics of my maters, he said his looked the same?
Makes me wonder what's in the dang air!!!!
2 posts up, the last photo. When I got home at 8pm, no droop. You would NEVER guess that stupid thing was drooping. But it was. OY VEY

Really, try the spray of 1/2 water, 1/2 H2O2.
