I am pretty convinced this is not late blight, we get late blight from the end of May to november, and the symptoms are not quite alike, if you get brown-black spots on the stems, suspect late blight then, but this doesn't look like it. I think it is indeed a cold snap or a sun -burn, or even a combination of the two. Sunburn occurs easier after a cold night, when the plants are exposed to the ful l sun . The affected leaves will eventually die, but otherwise no worries.
La te blight is also recognized on the underside of the leaves, you can see a group of whitish spores looking fungal over there,no sign of these here,
