Leaf spot, or just rain damage?

This started on this lowest leaf but is working its way up the plant, so I fear a fungus

Should I just cut these bottom most affected leaves off, or is this harmless weathering?

@codebyjeff How is the underside looking on the same leaf?
@rootsandcalluses the leaves are transparent and I can see the brown spots, but it's not all the way through the leaf - it's like these are a bunch of dead spots scattered throughout

@codebyjeff it could be different things from simple watering stress to bacteria or fungus. WIth the pattern you are deescribing, I'd assume something is digesting the plant, so probably bacteria or fungus.

I'd remove the affected leaves in any case. Keep an eye on it. Keep the plant parts you trim away from other crops.
