It's not really a problem unless the temperatures get down near freezing. Cool temperatures slow down maturation, in the same way they slow down plant growth, but provided the temperatures aren't so low that there is frost or freezing, the bunch probably won't be seriously affected. Even on very temperature-sensitive varieties, like Dwarf Red, the bunch will still ripen OK, though probably not as well (e.g., as filled out) as in the tropics.
