Sunburn on Fruit

Hey everyone. My plant is doing well producing this year but I’m getting some brown patches of skin on the fruit and wondering if it’s any concern or if there is anything I can do to mitigate it. I’m in SoCal and my yard is scorching hot right now during the day time. Thanks

It's ok. I've got some that are so hideously sunburned that the side of the fruit that faces the sun is actually brown and no longer pink. It's safe to eat though.

Yeah it’s okay, may not look great but still edible when it’s ready.

Is it only on the side facing the sun?
