Beautiful tile!! The only thing I can suggest is to use a good floor glue once they lift and set them back in place.
What are the tiles made of?
They are pretty! You can easily reset them. Here is how:

Floor tile should not lift no matter what the heat and humidity is. The only reason that would happen is if it wasn’t installed properly. In all likelihood whoever did the installation didn’t press the tile into the mortar well enough. When a tile lifts you can remove it, scrape the mortar off the tile and the floor and reset it properly. Short of that you will probably need to have the whole floor re-tiled.
Thank you everyone who replied with awesome suggestions, we will now start the job of replacing them as this happens, thanks again!
