What have you got your tomatoes in? Is the pot too small? They are probably in compost and this dries out very quickly in this hot weather. So they need plenty of water, best time is at night when it is not so hot an give them a REALLY good drink, soak them even. Just the compost I mean NOT the plants.
Also are you taking out the little piece of green that grows between the leaves that is just sapping the strength of the plant?
The weight of the tomatos on the stem will also need to be staked up on bamboo or something similar as the fruit will topple the plant over. Are you feeding them? they will need a good tomatoe feed at least once a week. But most important WATER EVERY EVENING so as they don't dry out. Hope this helps.

The weight of the tomatoes make them droop. You need to buy a cage for them.

Tomatoes require a lot of water. If it's hot, you might have to water twice a day.

You need to put a stake next to them and put twine around the stem to help hold them up.

i've got have been given various indoor flora alongside with ivy, or a spider flora, umbrella flora, etc... the plant can stoop as a results of various motives, loss of water, insufficient image voltaic, loss of nutrition in soil, chillier temperatures, etc..

Water them daily and get one of those wired round "cages" to hold them up.
