I'm not a Floridian, but I am growing tomatoes in temps that stayed in mid 90's for a couple weeks. Not too hot to grow the plants, but it can slow down production and ripening. Mine have actually been chugging right along, still setting new fruit. This time of year may be when it turns into an advantage that they are partly shaded. Just keep your plants well watered and they will take off again once the weather breaks.
