Ok so here’s the XML I’m working with:

```auto
<yweather:units temperature="F" distance="mi" pressure="in" speed="mph"/>
<yweather:wind chill="64" direction="350" speed="6" />
<yweather:atmosphere humidity="30" visibility="10" pressure="30.24" rising="0" />
<yweather:astronomy sunrise="7:20 am" sunset="7:36 pm"/>

```

I’m trying to access those attributes, but don’t know how. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
