Outside the US, how is a month+day combination written out/spoken?

"May 3" / "May 3rd" or "3 May" ?

In most contexts I would never use the cardinal number "3", it'd always be "the 3rd of May" or "May (the) 3rd", but in a country like Australia (with a high number of speakers from different cultural backgrounds) you hear all sorts of conventions used in casual conversation.
3 May in Italy. It’s always day first. You never hear anyone saying or writing the month first.
“3rd of may”
