1. Whether it rains or shines, I will take a stroll tomorrow.
2. Whether it is rainy or shiny, I will take a stroll tomorrow.
3. Rainy or shiny, I will take a stroll tomorrow.

Are the three sentences correct?
 
No. The first one is OK. It can be sunny, but it can't be shiny.
 
So even if my 2 and 3 are changed into " Whether it is rainy or sunny, I will take a stroll tomorrow." and " Rainy or sunny, I will take a stroll tomorrow", they are still wrong?
 
so

1. Whether it rains or shines, I will take a stroll tomorrow.
2. Whether it is rainy or sunny, I will take a stroll tomorrow.
3. Rainy or sunny, I will take a stroll tomorrow.

Are three of them correct?

What will you do if it’s cloudy (neither rainy nor sunny)?

I’d say ‘Whatever the weather, I’ll take a stroll tomorrow’.
I am just wondering if I use "whether A or B", could I omit "it is" in this sentence.

You can but I'd use it in its contracted form "it's".

Whether it's sunny or raining tomorrow, I'll take a stroll. (Note that I'd use "raining" rather than "rainy" but yours is OK.)
Come rain or shine, I'll take a stroll tomorrow.

"Rainy or sunny, I'll take a stroll tomorrow." is the worst among these three sentences.

Is it right?
 
"Rainy or sunny, I'll take a stroll tomorrow" is the worst among these three sentences. Is it that right?
Note my changes above. When a sentence continues after a quote, don't include a full stop inside the quotation marks.

I'm not sure what you mean by "worst". If you mean "the least likely to be heard from a native speaker", probably.

I don't know if it's the worst (whatever that means), but I wouldn't use that one.

As you haven't answered that question, I'll conclude that you'll be staying indoors, shall I?

Just for info, what I'd actually say is "I'm going for a walk/stroll tomorrow, whatever the weather".
