They are effected adversely by hot dry weather, so it depends on you local climate how well they will do. But no, it is not too late.

I'll be sowing peas and beans next week. I grow them all winter anyway in the greenhouse.

I sowed my sixth succession last weekend. (1x early, 1x petit pois, 1x sugarsnap, 3x successional maincrop). All are through, less last weeks sowing obviously.
