Thanks for all the replies but I can actually see the space change between the door and the casings at the top of the door and the shift will actually cause the door latch to no longer line up with the casing in some instances.This also happens with metal doors. maybe it is the casing that is swelling since that is wooden. I have also noticed some cracks on the drywall inside the house in some very localized areas that will expand or contract depending upon the time of year. I will try using a dehumidifier next year though to see if it helps
