Are you sure its the frame and not the door that expanded? I would shave some of the door till it closes. Then seal the door and frame with at least three coats of a water based polyurethane to limit the expansion and contraction. Also run the exhaust fan to eliminate the humidity.
do what William above says; it works, it is not the door jam it is the door
It's easier to shave the door, then the Frame. but yes, if your door frame is old Fir/White Wood/Pine they can warp and expand. I would Recommend painting it with Exterior paint(sealing it) then fit the door. I have had the same issue in my family home, my door jambs were scavenged after the 1907 san francisco earth quake refuge (Dump) as the story goes.
