I have a weather forecast file and want to improve the reliability of some code that is a nested sibling in the area.forecast-period lists.
I want to get the Icon Code, Maximum and Minimum from each of the forecast period index 1, 2 and 3 which is the next 3 days weather forecast.
Right now my code is hardcoded such as area[2].forecast_period[1].element[0].cdata but there are variations in the ordering of the "elements" such as in forecast period index 3 where a rainfall forecast is in the element[1] position instead of the minimums in indexes 1 and 2 in this example below.
How can I avoid using static list position numbers and use the element type attribute text as the reference to access the cdata value? It would sort of look like:

...but I can't seem to get this to work properly!
