During periods of low solar activity - low magnetic output - the heliospheric current sheet "flattens out"
with dominant pressure regimes within each Hadley Cell dictated by the +/- polarity on either side of the sheet.
With a "flatter" current sheet, the Earth spends longer periods in each polarity -- boundary crossings are fewer.
This aspect of the mechanism is very likely to be responsible for the GSM attribute of long periods of drought followed by long periods of precipitation.
