On what source do you know for sure that one year in New World has 12 months? I couldn't find any. The only thing I know is, that residents of NW count in years, not how long a year is. I'm not even sure one year in NW has 12 months.

Also comparing the months in NW with them of the Julian or Gregorian calendar is difficult. In LN Vol.5 & 6 it is shown, that NW has not discerning names for every month like the Gregorian calendar, they are more interrelated. Lower Fire Month would be equivalent to the 9th Month. But that doesn't necessarily is meant to be the 9th month of the Gregorian calendar (september). It would be the 9th month of the New World calendar, and could even be the last month in the year... I just don't know.

I do ponder about this subject quite a lot the past time, and will do so in the future. Please see my blog-post "New World Calendar". I try to update and enhance over time, but this is no trivial task. Til now I concluded Vol.3 and working my way through Vol.4, likely taking more weeks to come. My goal is to describe the timeline in terms of the New World calendar. But until this is archived, I'm afraid a few more Volumes of the Light Novel have to be released ... it might even be an impossible task.
