What it usually is
A warm switch is often a worn-out switch, a loose wire connection behind it, or a dimmer carrying more load than it was made for. Loose connections make heat, which is why we take this one seriously.
What to do first
Stop using the switch and turn off that circuit at the breaker if it is hot, buzzing, discolored or smells burnt. Do not remove the switch plate to look inside.
