It was not a go around. There was weather on finals to runway 03 (not as bad as the weather approaching from the north). The aircraft you saw required to join for a shorter than normal final approach to avoid that weather. At the time there was other traffic that prevented the aircraft you saw from descending . To avoid the weather and other traffic and be able to join final approach at an appropriate altitude the aircraft performed an orbit. No big deal.
