Abstract	Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 18m off Zambia Reef, Mozambique (22.7713°S; 35.584°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 11 April 2005 and 20 April 2006. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperatures in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures.
Methods	Subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder(s) (UTR) were deployed at a depth of 18m off Zambia Reef, Mozambique (22.7713°S; 35.584°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings between 11 April 2005 17h00 and 20 April 2006 10h00.
