The rumor is that Samsung might shake things up a bit, announcing the Note 5 and a newGalaxy S6 Edge+ phone (basically a larger version of the Galaxy S6 Edge) on August 12

Isn't it also the start of grouse shooting season in Scotland?

It's also the Wednesday immediately after my 5 years of galaxy weekend (un)spectacular.

12th?  Most say 13th. Have a look at http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2015/08/samsung-galaxy-note-5-specs-release-date-rumours-everything-we-know...

which gives a pretty comprehensive run down of what is expected.  4GB RAM, Samsung processor from the S6, easier to use S-Pen, USB-C is positive.  It sure sounds interesting, and if it has the 4100mAh battery suggested, might be worth a punt.  The downside is the lack of SD slot, so it depends on having a big enough cheap enough on board memory.  Looking at the positive side, from S6 reviews, the onboard RAM is a LOT faster, and means no messing with moving apps to SD to try and save space.

I can wait the extra day

It's only an announcement so one day either way won't make much difference.
