• Night Sky Brightness and variability behave as expected: low at remote areas and high in cities and industrial areas.• Human behaviour results in lowest luminances during first hours of a new day.• Implementation of legislation on light emissions yields clear signals in the monitoring data. • A simple power law is established between luminance levels under clear sky and solid overcast.• Long-term monitoring can improve sky brightness modeling.
