TAF

Hi all, I am pretty new at flying, only recently obtained my ppl, and planning on training/hour building for my CPL in due time.

My question is about reading a TAF properly:

Example:

240457Z 2406/2506 VRB04KT 0200 FG PROB40 TEMPO 2406/2418 3000 BR BKN005 BECMG 2408/2411 08010KT 7000 NSW SCT007 PROB40 TEMPO 2418/2506 1200 RADZ BR BKN002

Question: the period of BECMG 2408/2411 is a nice improvement compared with the rest of this TAF, when this time period has elapsed, do I then revert back to the main body of the TAF, or do I use the TEMPO 2406/2418 until 18hrs, although after 18hrs it is starting to get worse again...

Sorry If these kinda questions have been asked before, but I would appreciate any inputs!!!

Thanks in advance.
