Abstract	Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 19m off Zanzibar, Tanzania (06.4724°S 39.3968°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 29 July 2003 and 28 August 2004. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature 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	A subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed at a depth of 19m off Zanzibar, Tanzania (06.4724°S; 39.3968°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings between 29 July 2003 15h00 and 28 August 2004 17h00.
