Utilized taf that dispatch used to prepare flight release. (Closest to top of release). Did not see later taf that had been changed to require alternate airport for landing. (Towards bottom of release). Departed ZZZ without required alternate.oe training; no flying for last 6 months (covid-19).information overload. Too much material to read before a flight. Flight release is available to pilots so close to departure time that with all other tasks required; there is limited time available to study flight release; weather; notams and all available information. Suggestion: make flight info available to pilots 15 minutes earlier.
