 * The xml sitemap generated by Yoast displays UTC-time while I am in another time-
   zone (Belgium-Brusssels). Is there a possibility to adjust the time-zone that
   Yoast displays by default?

 * Hi,
 * It is not possible to change the time zone displayed. This is because WordPress
   calculates the UTC time for any post at the time of publication. This UTC is 
   set in the server.
 * We then output that UTC time with an offset for your local time based on the 
   timezone set in your WordPress settings here: xxxx.com/wp-admin/options-general.
   php.
