question
kanji readings
Is 方 read かた or ほう here?
In both cases, it is read as ホウ ([the
on'yomi](http://kakijun.jp/page/0458200.html)).

One simple and helpful thing to realize is that the ほう reading means
"direction" but the かた reading refers to either a person or way of doing
something.

If you think about it, the first sentence is

> 外の方が家の中より暖かそうです。

"It seems warmer outside than inside the house."

> たいふうは西の方に去った。

"The typhoon went to the West"

Both are directional.
