If so, get rid of it. It's not moisture that makes it clump, it's mould. I just learned that from the wife.

Mold grows on the surface and then it just clings on to the mold next to it? They're all in it together don'tcha know? :)

Will keep an eye out for it thanks.

Would that apply to other dried & ground spices do you think?

Good heavens! We've had a hot and humid spell here over the last couple of weeks. Apparently hot pepper flakes get moldy too. I had to throw out a bottle and my backup bag. I was clumpy and clearly moldy. There's a first for everything!

Lumpy Paprika

I keep my Paprika, Cayanne, Pepper Flakes, etc. in the freezer. Keeps bugs from developing and would also prevent mold.
