It's probably a legacy from how we tend to say dates.

"What's the date?"

"January 30th."

That used to be the case in the UK, but I notice more and more how I'm the only one actually using that form in conversation these days, at least in my little corner of Northern England. Indigenous people have clearly moved on to DMY, i.e. "the 30th of January".
