Flowers drying and dying before maturation and bloom

On most of my pepper plants, mostly the temperate climate ones I think, whole flushes of flower buds are
drying, yellowing and falling off. They do not even get to the blooming stage.

See in the foreground and background the wilting and yellowing pods:



the brown ruffles are the baby petals drying up before opening.

Why is this happening? Is it the heat? I think its only been up to 90F. Would better watering control this issue? The lower leaves are yellowing and drying too a little bit.

Thank you,

K.
