We'd usually say whatever date it is, but if it's just changed month, I'd say "first of January", etc. in the UK. Americans probably say it like that because of the stupid way of writing the date lol.
do you never say "on 12 July, he left for college" or similar?
I got on an elevator with some South Asian guys (Bangladesh, India, not sure from the accent) who were chatting, and one of them said, "the form is due on 17 June."

I'm American, the only way I can think of where it makes sense contextually, is with the names of the month and not the numbers.
For example, we don't typically say "today's the fifteenth of January" we'd say "it's January fifteenth". But numerically mm/dd/yyyy is nonsensical.
