Moisture, fog, and clouds can make a big difference too, by reflecting light from far away towns.

I've been out to Roma / Mitchell a couple of times for stargazing: one on night, it was stunningly dark (summer Milky Way casts a visible shadow on the ground) but a few days later there was a visible glow to the sky.
