The fundamental principle for determining prayer times is based on the Shar'i (Islamic legal) signs, not written calendars. However, it is permissible to rely on trustworthy calendars. If you are able to determine the time for Dhuhr prayer using the Shar'i signs, then do so. Otherwise, do not pray until you are certain or highly confident that the time has entered.
