What has your weather been like? High temperatures, low temperatures, high humidity will mess up the pollination of tomato and pepper blossoms. Since the blossoms don't get pollinated, they turn yellow and drop off. All you can do is wait until sufficient weather for good pollination. Hang in there!

You're not the only one. One website I looked at says 40C is 72F, which is quite wrong. The proper answer is 104F. Obviously someone neglected to add the 32 Fahrenheit degrees which is zero on the C scale. Here's a better site:

If the air temp outside was 104F (?) I wonder what it was inside the greenhouse. A bit too hot for tomatoes I imagine, but maybe I'm misunderstanding what the conditions really were. I do think I see some shade cloth on the roof.
Yes, that's a very nice greenhouse, majmaj. Did you design & build it yourself?

majmaj, we've had tomatoes survive 40C summers in the past although some got sunscald (? - white patches on the skin) & had to be shaded. But by then fruit was already growing.
(Edited) ... Maybe they're only damaged by high temps in the earlier stages.
Where are you located and what's the weather going to be like for the rest of the season? I wonder if the plants might make more flowers given some cooler weather.
By the way I'm no expert, except in terms of my own experience but with limited attention to detail.
