You would access a node list of 'day' elements with
   var dayElements = doc.selectNodes('/weather/dayf/day');
then you can loop through that list
   for (var i = 0, l = dayElements.length; i < l; i++)
   {
     var dayElement = dayElements[i];
     var dayName = dayElement.getAttribute('t');  // e.g. 'Monday'
     var hiEl = dayElement.selectSingleNode('hi');
     var hi = hiEl.text;
   }

As for inserting data you get from the XML document into your HTML 
document, you can do that by either preparing the HTML with elements to 
take the data e.g. you would put a span
   <span id="dnam"></span>
into your HTML document where you want to display that data, then you 
could access that as
   var dnamSpan = document.getElementById('dnam');
   dnamSpan.innerText = dnam;
where dnma is the variable in my earlier post.
For the data of the days of the week you would probably use a HTML table 
and populate that.
Or alternatively you could use DOM scripting to create all those HTML 
dynamically.

XSLT is also a nice tool to transform XML to HTML, not sure if you would 
want to try that.
