Id say not enough water or feed. The plants sound stressed and to survive they abort the fruit. Cucumber plants are female. Increase watering to 2 litres a day.

Cucumber plants are not female, they carry both male and female flowers.

I agree with Maclad. Same thing happens with my butternuts, but it's no problem to hand pollinate them. as long as there are male flowers blooming as well as the female ones.

I reckon it's lack of pollination . I lose a few pumpkins this way, as well.

Probably because they have not been pollinated. Plenty of threads on here about how to hand pollinate them. Not a biggie to do. Tho at this time of year I would expect the bees to be doing it, maybe it is because we have a lack of bees
