Abstract	Here we present a collection of raw and processed temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located off Port Alfred, South Africa. 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.
Methods	A subsurface-mounted Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed off Port Alfred (33.6027°S; 26.8999°E), along the east coast of South Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings.
