Due to the heat, the wood of my door has swelled. It squeaks, due mostly to it hitting and rubbing against the floor and I was just wondering if there's anything I can do about this?

oil it

Take the door off and rehang the hinges tighter. The door may be sagging due to old age. You could plane the bottom as well. Use 3 in 1 penetrating oil which is much better than WD-40. WD-40 over time accumulates dust over time and binds causing squeaking again. 3 in 1 doesn't bind and collect dust.

Remove the door from the hinges and sand/plane the bottom of the door until you have enough clearance.
Before reinstalling the door put a thin layer of oil on the hinges and pins.

Take the door off and shave a little of the wood off of the bottom and the hang back up again.

Take the door off it's hinges and plane a little material off of where it rubs on the floor.

WD-40, turn on the air conditioner, wait for winter.
