engineered hardwood floor click lock, squeaks

Is there any way to stop the squeaks in our engineered click lock hardwood floor. Every step you take squeaks in the summer but much better in the winter. Please help.

the flooring obviously had been put in without reference to expansion. floors absorb moisture in the summer and expand, winter less humidity so they contract. IF you can remove a strip along the longitudinal length of the room and shave off a quarter inch on a tablesaw on the outboard side, it may relieve the congestion. the cut edge will be hidden under the baseboard and will float.
