Default Tomatoes aren't ripening ?

I have a lot of tomatoes on my plants but they are not ripening at
all,
The plants are about 5 to 6' tall now and get full sun all day long.
The days have been hot and dry all summer and I have watered on a very
even schedule. The nights have been warmer then normal all summer as
well, between 63 and 73.

They were all planted about Memorial Day.

I have never had this happen before, it seems that some would be
starting to turn red by now.

Maybe I am just being impatient.
The cherry tomatoes are ripening fine though, these are the big boy
type that aren't ripening.

Should I just be more patient or is there something else I should be
doing.

I have had the same experience here in Southern NH. They are finally
coming but it sure took a long time.
