Blockage of TAT probes tend to occur suddenly, similar to pitots. In this case the TAT rose gradually between 2:09:52 and 2:10:04, while the airplane was entering a vertical gust that reached 22 kt at 2:10:03.5 - see figure 64 of the Final Report, the correct one, not the figure 64 erroneously included in the English version.
