Emad, note that the TAF you posted was amended, issued at 072036 for 2000/1800 period.
So, the times would suggest that Met had issued a late change, probably responding to unexpected changes in the actual conditions.
Local time of issue was 0736, by which time the pilot would be close to departure. It’s likely the pilot didn’t receive the changes. It would be interesting to know;
What the original TAF had forecast; and
if the amended TAF was passed on to the pilot.
