According to the WeatherKit Documentation It says

To provide weather information to a web app or other platform, like Android, use the WeatherKit REST API. For native iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS apps, use WeatherKit.

is it possible to use The WeatherKit REST API on a iOS native app below iOS 16? I don’t see us being able to drop iOS 15 support for at least a year or so.

That will work. Elsewhere the documentation makes it more explicit:

WeatherKit requires iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16, or watchOS 9. REST APIs can be used for websites and other platforms.

Older versions of iOS would fall under “other platforms”.
