Hello! I'm new to this forum.
Just within the past few days I have noticed the leaves of my cucumber plants have started to look absolutely horrible. There are brown/yellow spots all over and the leaves are curling. I was wondering if this is downy mildew. From what I've read, downy mildew usually shows up when the weather is cool and damp - which is the opposite of the weather we've been having this summer. I'll try to attach some pictures.

It looks like it from here, but I'm certainly not an expert. Downy mildew is nasty. I got it last year and never really was able to get rid of it. Hopefully you can get some fungicide on it and it recovers better than mine did. Honestly I wasn't very aggressive with it so you'll probably have better luck.
